A Time to tie myself down to the A7train track

Gonna relax, and try to exA6plain that I rarely feel alive

Unless AI'm running for my life

A Cause I'm over monsters under the A7bed

But I got suspicion in my A6head

That I've got the cure, but I'm not so Asure that I've got the cure

A So when I hear that whistle blA7ow

A6 That's when I know it's time to Ago F D F D

A All I can do is run

A7 All I can do is run

A6 All I can do is Arun

A Someone tell me where to

A7 Someone tell me what from

A6 All I can do is run

A Time to tie myself down to the A7train track

Gonna relax, and try to exA6plain that I rarely feel alive

Unless AI'm running for my life

A Cause I'm over monsters under the A7bed

But I got suspicion in my A6head

That I've got the cure, but I'm not so Asure that I've got the cure

AI can remember the Emdays in my life

When my fDuture looked bright back beAfore mom had died

Before AI heard dad coughing up Emblood in his room

And the Ddoctor said "Son, you'll be Ajoining Him soon"

AEverything changed, what was Embright turned to bleak

Cause Deveryone seemed to get Asick, 'cept for me

And my Adad's final cough, where they Emcarted me off

They Dstuck me in hell and they Agave me a cross

And said "ASon, the church is all you've gDot now, got now, Ason

So give your life to DGod now, God

My sonF#m, I know you're C#/Fscared, I know you're A/Cyoung

Just say your B/Dprayers tonight

Cause Dnobody's gonna comeDm, cause no one loves an orphan"

C#5A#5C#5A#5F#5G#5

A#5So here I sit looking at the traffic lights C#5

The red extinguishes the hope that the green igniF#5tes

I want to run away I want to ditch my lifC#5e

Cause all of my mistG#5akes keep me awake at nighA#5t

And after all of my alibis desert me

I just C#5want to get by

I don't want nothing to hurt me

I had F#5no idea where my head was at

But if my C#5heart says I'm sorry can we lG#5eave it at that

Because A#5I just want for aG#5ll of this to end C#5

And I F#5so hate cC#5onsequences

And A#5running from you is what my bG#5est defense is

F#5 Ohh....... C#5Consequences

Oh GodA#5, don't make me face uG#5p to this

And I F#5so hate C#5consequences

And A#5running from you is what my bG#5est defense is

Cause A#5I know that I let you down

And G#5I don't want to deal with that

A#5 It just now hit me this is more than just a set back

And C#5when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn't get that

F#5 And every trace of momentum is gone

And this C#5isn't turning out the G#5way I want

A#5 And after all of my alibis desert me

I just C#5want to get by, I don't want nothing to hurt me

I had F#5no idea where my head was at

But if my C#5heart says I'm sorry can we lG#5eave it at that

Because A#5I just want for aG#5ll of this to end C#5

And I F#5so hate cC#5onsequences

And A#5running from you is what my bG#5est defense is

F#5 Ohh....... CC#5onsequences

Oh GodA#5, don't make me face uG#5p to this

And I F#5so hate cC#5onsequences

And A#5running from you is what my bG#5est defense is

Cause A#5I know that I let you down

And GI 5don't want to deal with that

A#5 And I spent all last night

Tearing down

F#5 Every stoplight

And stop sign in this town

C#5 Now I think there might

Be no way to stop me now

G#5 I'll get away despite

The fact I'm so weighed downF#5

All of my G#5escapes have been exhausted

A#5 I thought I had a way but then I lost it

F#5 And my resistance was oG#5nce much stronger

And I A#5know I can't go on like this much longer

F#5C#5F#5C#5

C#5When I got tired of running from yA#5ou

I stopped right there to catch my F#5breath

There your words they caught my C#5ears

You said, "I G#5miss you son. Come hC#5ome"

And my sins, they watched me A#5leave

And in my heart I so belF#5ieved

The love you felt for me was C#5mine

The love I'd G#5wished for all this tD#5ime

And when the doors were closed

A#5I heard no I tG#5old you so's

I F#5said the words I knew you knew

Oh C#5God, Oh God I nG#5eeded you

A#5God all this time I nG#5eeded you, I neF#5eded you

And I F#5so hate cC#5onsequences

And A#5running from you is what my bG#5est defense is

F#5 I hate these C#5Consequences

And A#5I know that I let you down

And G#5I don't want to deal with that

A5This one last cB5all that You mentioned

A5 I E5 gotta get D5outta here E5

And I'm F#5begging You, E5begging You, D5begging You to E5be my escape.

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

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.

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

B5But I can't ask You to D5give what You already gE5ave

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.

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
