Be My Escape Relient K
I've seen great tabs for this song,
but all of them were just a little bit off.
nothing too major, just enough to irk me a little bit.
anyway, I've listened to the song over and over and watched how they play it
live and I am 100 % certain that this is the way that they play it live,
as well as on the album.
Also, thanks to lovetoplaybball
for the most accurate tab on this song.
Oh yeah! One more thing.
The high pitched instrument in this song is a mandolin,
I'm not going to tab it out.
That goes for the piano too.

(Verse 1) (Chords are in accordance to the capo.)
[G]Ive given up, I[D]'m giving up slowly,
[Cadd9]Im blending in so you wont even know me
[G]apart from t[D]his whole world that s[G]hares[Em/G] my fat[Cadd9]e
[G]This one last bu[D]llet you mention[Cadd9] is my one last shot at redemption
[G]because I know to l[D]ive you must give your l[G]ife[Em/G] away[Cadd9]
(Pre-chorus)
And Ive been hou[Em]sing all this dou[C]bt and in[G]security[D]
Ive been lo[Em]cked inside that hou[C]se all the whi[G]le You hold the ke[D]y
And Ive been dy[Em]ing to get ou[C]t and that might b[G]e the death of m[D]e
And even tho[Am]ugh, there?s no way in knowing where to [C]go,
promise Im goi[D]ng because
(Chorus 1)
[G] I---[D]I gotta get ou[Cadd9]tta here[D]
I?m st[G]uck inside this r[D]ut that I fell i[Cadd9]nto by mistake[D]
[G] I---[D]I gotta get ou[Cadd9]tta here[D]
And Im be[Em/G]gging You, I?m beggi[D]ng You,
Im begg[C]ing You to b[D]e my esca[G]pe.
(Verse 2)
[G]Im giving up on doi[D]ng this alone now
[Cadd9]Cause Ive failed and Im ready to be shown how
[G]Hes told me the wa[D]y and Im trying to[G] ge[Em/G]t there[Cadd9]
[G]And this life sen[D]tence that Im serving
[Cadd9]I admit that Im every bit deserving
[G]But the beauty of gr[D]ace is that it makes l[G]ife [Em/G]not fai[Cadd9]r
(Pre-chorus)
And Ive been hou[Em]sing all this dou[C]bt and in[G]security[D]
Ive been lo[Em]cked inside that hou[C]se all the whi[G]le You hold the ke[D]y
And Ive been dy[Em]ing to get ou[C]t and that might b[G]e the death of m[D]e
And even tho[Am]ugh, theres no way in knowing where to g[C]o,
promise Im goi[D]ng because
(Chorus 2)
[G] I---[D]I gotta get ou[Cadd9]tta here[D]
Im afra[G]id that this compla[D]cency is so[Cadd9]mething I cant shake[D]
[G] I---[D]I gotta get ou[Cadd9]tta here[D]
And Im be[Em/G]gging You, Im begging[D] You,
Im begg[Cadd9]ing You to b[D]e my esca[G]pe.
(Bridge)
[Em]I am a hos[D]tage[C] to my o[D]wn humanity
[Em]Self deta[D]ined and forced to l[C]ive in this m[D]ess Ive made
[Em]And all Im ask[D]ing is for Y[C]ou to do wh[D]at You can with me
[Am]But I cant ask You to gi[C]ve what You already ga[D]ve
(Pre-chorus)
And Ive been hou[Em]sing all this dou[C]bt and in[G]security[D]
Ive been lo[Em]cked inside that hou[C]se all the whi[G]le You hold the ke[D]y
And Ive been dy[Em]ing to get ou[C]t and that might b[G]e the death of m[D]e
And even tho[Am]ugh, theres no way in knowing where to g[C]o,
promise Im goi[D]ng because
(Chorus 1)
[G] [D]I---I gotta get ou[Cadd9]tta here[D]
Im stu[G]ck inside this ru[D]t that I fell in[Cadd9]to by mistake[D]
[G] I---[D]I gotta get ou[Cadd9]tta here[D]
And Im be[Em/G]gging You, Im beggin[D]g You,
Im begg[C]ing You to b[D]e my esca[G]pe
