Standard tuning, CAPO 2nd fret
I kno there are certain specific names for these chords
but then wen chucked in with the lyrics it wud be too
crammed to fit the whole names in so lets just stick
with simple names yis? and btw for ceratin parts u dont hav
to strum the e and B string.. wateva floats ya boat i guess.
So just use these chords for the song:
G A7Sus4 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4 G/B
E---3 E---3 E---3 E---3 E---3 E---3 B---3 B---3 B---3 B---3 B---3 B---3 G---0 G---0 G---0 G---0 G---2 G---0 D---0 D---2 D---2 D---2 D---0 D---x A---2 A---0 A---3 A---2 A---x A---2 E---3 E---x E---x E---0 E---x E---x
Verse 1:
G A7Sus4
I've given up on giving up slowly
[Cadd9] I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Em7 Dsus4 A7Sus4 G/B Cadd9
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G A7Sus4
This one last bullet you mention
[Cadd9] Is this my one last shot at redemption
Em7 Dsus4 A7Sus4 G/B Cadd9
Coz I know to live you must give your life away
Pre-Chorus:
And I've been [Em7]housing all this [Cadd9]doubt and inse[G]curity[Dsus4]
And I've been [Em7]locked inside that [Cadd9]house all the while [G]you hold the key[Dsus4]
And I've been [Em7]dying to get o[Cadd9]ut and that might be th[G]e death of me[Dsus4]
A7Sus4 Cadd9
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Dsus4 (chucka-chucka)
I promise I'm going because...
Chorus:
[G] I[Dsus4] gotta get out[Cadd9] of here[Dsus4]
I'm st[G]uck inside this r[Dsus4]ut that I fell in[Cadd9]to by mistake[Dsus4]
[G] I[Dsus4] gotta get out [Cadd9]of here[Dsus4]
Em7 Dsus4 A7Sus4 Dsus4
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Verse 2:
G A7Sus4
I've given up on doing this alone now
[Cadd9] Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Em7 Dsus4 A7Sus4 G/B Cadd9
You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there
G A7Sus4
And this life sentence that I'm serving
[Cadd9] I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Em7 Dsus4 A7Sus4 G/B Cadd9
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Pre-Chorus:
And I've been [Em7]housing all this [Cadd9]doubt and inse[G]curity[Dsus4]
And I've been [Em7]locked inside that [Cadd9]house all the while [G]you hold the key[Dsus4]
And I've been [Em7]dying to get o[Cadd9]ut and that might be th[G]e death of me[Dsus4]
A7Sus4 Cadd9
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Dsus4 (chucka-chucka)
I promise I'm going because...
Chorus:
[G] I[Dsus4] gotta get out [Cadd9]of here[Dsus4]
Coz I'm [G]afraid that this compl[Dsus4]acency is somet[Cadd9]hing I can't shake, ye[Dsus4]ah
[G] I[Dsus4] gotta get out[Cadd9] of here[Dsus4]
And I'm [Em7]begging you, I'm [Dsus4]begging you, I'm begg[Cadd9]ing you to be my es[Dsus4]cape
Bridge:
I've split the bridge into two parts,
The lead riff:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------2-2---------------------------------------------------2---------| A|-------------2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------| E|-0-0-0-3-------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------|
And the chords:
[Em7] I am a hostage [Cadd9]to my own humanity
G A7Sus4
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
[Em7] And all I'm asking is for y[Cadd9]ou to do what you can with me
G A7Sus4
But I can't ask you to give what you already gave
Pre-Chorus:
And I've been [Em7]housing all this [Cadd9]doubt and inse[G]curity[Dsus4]
And I've been [Em7]locked inside that [Cadd9]house all the while [G]you hold the key[Dsus4]
And I've been [Em7]dying to get o[Cadd9]ut and that might be th[G]e death of me[Dsus4]
A7Sus4 Cadd9
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Dsus4 (chucka-chucka)
I promise I'm going because...
Chorus:
[G] I[Dsus4] gotta get out[Cadd9] of here[Dsus4]
I'm st[G]uck inside this r[Dsus4]ut that I fell in[Cadd9]to by mistake[Dsus4]
[G] I[Dsus4] gotta get out [Cadd9]of here[Dsus4]
Em7 Dsus4 A7Sus4 Dsus4
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Outro:
The outro is optional coz its played by piano,
but I'll tab the chords out anyway:
Em7 Dsus Cadd9 only once for the acoustic version, but they do this
twice for the original version
G A7Sus4 Cadd9
I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
[Em7]Oh how we regr[Dsus4]et those things we do[Cadd9]
G A7Sus4 Cadd9 Em7
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
Oh-[Dsus4]o, but so were you[Cadd9]
End with this: (coz its cool)
So were you
e|--------0~-----3~-------| B|--3~-----------3~-------| G|---------------0~-------| D|---------------0~-------| A|---------------2~-------| E|---------------3~-------|
[Dsus4] [Em7] [G]
