Be My Escape Relient K
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Band: Relient K
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tempo: 110 bpm
Tuning: 2 options: Standard, or ½ step down on all strings (This is easier
if youâ??re playing the song with many of the other songs from this album, as
they are tuned down one half step, too.) If you are playing it a half step
lower, just move everything up one fret, because Iâ??ll tab it in standard tuning.
Notes: Ok, I have seen some good quality tabs on this song, but no one, NO ONE got the
correct. I have(Thanks monkeyarms). I also made some corrections in the second verse
to some help from imnotrichey, so thank you as well. Here you go.

Guitar 1, (1:34) Ok this is really tough to hear but I tried my best. I had to listen to
acoustic version to get some solid volume on this part. If you listen to the acoustic
you'll hear it an octave higher.

Both guitars play Riff 5 at (1:46)
Chorus B at (1:51) is a little different:

it ring.

Bass only from (2:16)-(2:25)
Guitar 1, probably using an effects loop instead of playing eighth notes, plays this:
e|---9--9--9--9---9--9--9--9--| B|--10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--| G|--11-11-11-11--11-11-11-11--| 2X D|--11-11-11-11--11-11-11-11--| A|---9--9--9--9---9--9--9--9--| E|---X--X--X--X---X--X--X--X--|
(2:29) Both guitars play their Riff 2 twice, then do this at (2:33)

Ok the piano plays for most of the chorus at (2:35), but both guitars
come in for two chords:
e|----------------------------------------------------------X-X-X-X--| B|-------------------------------------- 8 X --- 4 X -------X-X-X-X--| G|------------11~-----------7~--------------------7---9-9---X-X-X-X--| D|------------11~-----------7~------------9-------7---9-9---X-X-X-X--| A|-------------9~-----------5~------------9-------5---7-7---X-X-X-X--| E|----------------------------------------7-----------------X-X-X-X--|

â?¦and Iâ??ve been dying to get outâ?¦ and even thoughâ?¦ goâ?¦ going because
Last chorus at (2:53) is played just like Chorus B.
Some piano, then some more and, yes, even more piano, and just like that the songâ??s done
youâ??re on your way to becoming the next Relient K. Please rate this tab if you feel
to do so and spread the word about it. Thanks, have fun, God bless.
