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 D
ive given up , i’m giving up slowly ,
Cadd9
im blending in so you wont even know me
G D G Em/G Cadd9
apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G D Cadd9
this one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
G D G Em/G Cadd9
because i know to live you must give your life away
( pre – chorus )
Em C G D
and ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em C G D
ive been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Em C G D
and ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
Am C
and even though , theres no way in knowing where to go ,
D
promise im going because
( chorus 1 )
G D Cadd9 D

G D Cadd9 D
im stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake
G D Cadd9 D

Em/G D
and im begging you , im begging you ,
C D G
im begging you to be my escape .
( verse 2 )
G D
im giving up on doing this alone now
Cadd9
cause ive failed and im ready to be shown how
G D G Em/G Cadd9
hes told me the way and im trying to get there
G D
and this life sentence that im serving
Cadd9
i admit that im every bit deserving
G D G Em/G Cadd9
but the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
( pre – chorus )
Em C G D
and ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em C G D
ive been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Em C G D
and ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me

and even though , theres no way in knowing where to go ,

( chorus 2 )
G D Cadd9 D

Em/G D
and im begging you , im begging you ,
Cadd9 D G
im begging you to be my escape .
( bridge )
Em D C D
i Am a hostage to my own humanity
Em D C D

( pre – chorus )
