I'm not too sure about the second part of the intro while the bass is doing something
funky but I think its something like:

Verse 1:
A5I've givB5en up on giving up slowly
D5I'm blending in so you won't even know me
F#5Apart fE5rom this wholA5e woC#5rld tD5hat shares my fate
A5This one last cB5all that You mentioned
D5Is my one last shot at redemption
F#5Because IE5 know to live yA5ou must gC#5ive yoD5ur life away
Prechorus:
And I've been F#5housing all this dD5oubt and A5insecurity E5
And I've been F#5locked inside that D5house all the A5while You hold the E5key
And I've been F#5dying to get D5out and that might A5be the death of E5me
B5 (p.m. if you want) D5
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm
E5going
(mute the strings and strum quickly four times)
Because
Chorus:
A5 I E5 gotta get D5outta here E5
A5 E5 D5 E5(mute effect again)
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

. . . . . . . .
I'm giving up I'm doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.
Bridge:
F#5I am a hostage D5 to my own humanity
F#5Self detained and forced to D5live in this mess I've made
F#5And all I'm asking is for D5You to do what You can with me
B5 D5 E5 (let ring)
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
Chorus 3: (Same as Chorus 1)
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
You to be my escape.
Outro/Ending: All Piano
I fought You for so long
I should have let You win
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You
So were You
