[G]I’ve given up, [D]I'm giving up slowly,
[C]I’m blending in so you won’t even know me
[Em]apart from th[D]is whole world that sh[Am]ares m[Em]y fat[C]e
[G]This one last bu[D]llet you mention[C] is my one last shot at redemption
[Em]because I know to l[D]ive you must give your l[Am]ife [Em]away[C]
Pre-chorus:
And I’ve been ho[Em]using all this do[C]ubt and i[G]nsecurit[D]y

And I’ve been d[Em]ying to get o[C]ut and that might [G]be the death of [D]me
And even tho[Am]ugh, there’s no way in knowing where to [C]go,
promise I’m go[D]ing because
Chorus:
[G] I---[D]I gotta get ou[C]tta here[D]
I’m st[G]uck inside this r[D]ut that I fell i[C]nto by mist[D]ake

And I’m b[Em]egging You, I’m be[D]gging You,
I’m beg[C]ging You to [D]be my esc[G]ape.
Verse 2:
[G]I’m giving up on do[D]ing this alone now
[C]Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
[Em]He’s told me the w[D]ay and I’m trying [Am]to g[Em]et the[C]re
[G]And this life sen[D]tence that I’m serving
[C]I admit that I’m every bit deserving
[Em]But the beauty of gr[D]ace is that it makes l[Am]ife n[Em]ot fa[C]ir
