Be My Escape Acoustic chords by Relient K

Chords with lyrics

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.)

D MajorD
Ive given up, I'm giving up slowly,
Cadd9Cadd9
Im blending in so you wont even know me
Cadd9Cadd9
apart from this whole world that shares my fate
Cadd9Cadd9
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
Cadd9Cadd9
because I know to live you must give your life away

(Pre-chorus)

	    D MajorD
And Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity
	  D MajorD
Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
	    D MajorD
And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
	  C majorC
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go,
	   D MajorD
promise Im going because

(Chorus 1)
    D MajorD
	I---I gotta get outta here
	   D MajorD
	I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
    D MajorD
	I---I gotta get outta here
		 D MajorD
	And Im begging You, I’m begging You,
	    G+G
	Im begging You to be my escape.

(Verse 2)
D MajorD
Im giving up on doing this alone now
Cadd9Cadd9
Cause Ive failed and Im ready to be shown how
Cadd9Cadd9
Hes told me the way and Im trying to get there
D MajorD
And this life sentence that Im serving
Cadd9Cadd9
I admit that Im every bit deserving
Cadd9Cadd9
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

(Pre-chorus)
	    D MajorD
And Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity
	  D MajorD
Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
	    D MajorD
And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
	  C majorC
And even though, theres no way in knowing where to go,
	   D MajorD
promise Im going because

(Chorus 2)
    D MajorD
	I---I gotta get outta here
	    D MajorD
	Im afraid that this complacency is something I cant shake
    D MajorD
	I---I gotta get outta here
 	     D MajorD
	And Im begging You, Im begging You,
	    G+G
	Im begging You to be my escape.

(Bridge)
D MajorD
I am a hostage to my own humanity
D MajorD
Self detained and forced to live in this mess Ive made
D MajorD
And all Im asking is for You to do what You can with me
D MajorD
But I cant ask You to give what You already gave

(Pre-chorus)
	    D MajorD
And Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity
	  D MajorD
Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
	    D MajorD
And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
	  C majorC
And even though, theres no way in knowing where to go,
	   D MajorD
promise Im going because

(Chorus 1)

  D MajorD
	I---I gotta get outta here
	   D MajorD
	Im stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
    D MajorD
	I---I gotta get outta here
		 D MajorD
	And Im begging You, Im begging You,
	    G+G
	Im begging You to be my escape
