Be My Escape

Intro: F#m D F#m D
       F#m D

A                   Bm     
 I've given up, I'm giving up 
          F#m
slowly,   I'm blending in so
     D                 F#m       
You won't even know me   apart 
E                        F#m      
from this whole world that shares my
 D
 fate
A              Bm         
 This one last call that You 
             F#m              D
mentioned   is my one last shot at 
redemption
F#m                 E            
  because I know to live you must
           F#m    D
 give your life away

              F#m              D  
And I've been housing all this 
       A        E
doubt and insecurity and
          F#m                 D   
I've been locked inside that house
          A                 E
 all the while You hold the key
              F#m          D      
And I've been dying to get out and
            A               E
 that might be the death of me
         Bm                        
And even though, there's no way in 
                 D
knowing where to go, promise
    E
I'm going because

A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
     A                E        
I'm stuck inside this rut that I 
       D          E
fell into by mistake
A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
        F#m              E     
And I'm begging You, I'm begging 
           Bm             E 
You, I'm begging You to be my 
      A
escape.

A                  Bm
 I'm giving up I'm doing this alone 
now
F#m                         D
  Cause I've failed and I'm ready to
 be shown how
F#m                 E       
  He's told me the way and I'm 
          F#m     D
trying to get there

A              Cm
 And this life sentence that I'm 
serving
F#m                D
  I admit that I'm every bit 
deserving
F#m                  E           
  But the beauty of grace is that
          F#m      D
 it makes life not fair

                F#m             
Cause I've been housing all this 
 D         A        E
doubt and insecurity and
          F#m                 D   
I've been locked inside that house
          A                 E
 all the while You hold the key
              F#m          D      
And I've been dying to get out and
            A               E
 that might be the death of me
         Bm                        
And even though, there's no way in 
                 D
knowing where to go, promise
    E
I'm going because

A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
            A             
Cause I'm afraid that this 
     E          D              
complacency is something I can't 
    E
shake
A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
        F#m              E     
And I'm begging You, I'm begging 
           Bm             E 
You, I'm begging You to be my 
      F#m
escape.

F#m F#m

F#m             D                A
  I am a hostage to my own humanity
                            Bm     
Self detained and forced to live in
                 F#m
 this mess I've made
                          D        
And all I'm asking is for You to do
                   A
 what You can with me
                       Bm          
But I can't ask You to give what 
          Bm
You already gave

                F#m             
Cause I've been housing all this 
 D         A        E
doubt and insecurity and
          F#m                 D   
I've been locked inside that house
          A                 E
 all the while you hold the key
              F#m          D      
And I've been dying to get out and
            A               E
 that might be the death of me
         Bm                        
And even though, there's no way in 
                 D
knowing where to go, promise
    E
I'm going because

A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
     A                E        
I'm stuck inside this rut that I 
       D          E
fell into by mistake
A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
        F#m              E     
And I'm begging You, I'm begging 
           Bm
You, I'm begging

       E       F#m  E D F#m E D
You to be my escape.

F#m         G          D
   I fought You for so long
   I should have let You in
F#m          E                    D
 Oh how we regret those things we do
F#m           G     D           
   And all I was trying to do 
               F#m
was save my own skin
E             D
 But so were You

E       F#m
So were You
