Biography:
Relient K is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Brian Pittman (bass), and Matthew Hoopes (guitar, backing vocals), during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.
In 2000, Dave Douglas replaced Stephen Cushman on drums.

Artist: Relient K
Song: Be My Escape Acoustic
Standard tuning, CAPO 2nd fret
(I know there are certain specific names for these chords
but then wen chucked in with the lyrics it would be too
crammed to fit the whole names in so lets just stick
with simple names yes? By the way for certain parts you don't have
to strum the e and B string.. whatever floats ya boat i guess.
So just use these chords for the song):
G A7sus4 Cadd9 Em7 Dsus G/B
E|---3| E|---3| E|---3| E|---3| E|---3| E|---3|
B|---3| B|---3| B|---3| B|---3| B|---3| B|---3|
G|---0| G|---0| G|---0| G|---0| G|---2| G|---0|
D|---0| D|---2| D|---2| D|---2| D|---0| D|---x|
A|---2| A|---0| A|---3| A|---2| A|---x| A|---2|
E|---3| E|---x| E|---x| E|---0| E|---x| E|---x|
[Verse 1]
G A7sus4
I've given up on giving up slowly
Cadd9
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Em7 Dsus A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G A7sus4
This one last bullet you mention
Cadd9
Is this my one last shot at redemption
Em7 Dsus A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
Coz I know to live you must give your life away
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
A7sus4 Cadd9
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Dsus (chucka-chucka)
I promise I'm going because...
[Chorus]
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I gotta get out of here
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I gotta get out of here
Em7 Dsus A7sus4 Dsus
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
[Verse 2]
G A7sus4
I've given up on doing this alone now
Cadd9
Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Em7 Dsus A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there
G A7sus4
And this life sentence that I'm serving
Cadd9
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Em7 Dsus A7sus4 G/B Cadd9
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
A7sus4 Cadd9
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Dsus (chucka-chucka)
I promise I'm going because...
[Chorus]
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I gotta get out of here
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I gotta get out of here
Em7 Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
[Bridge]
I've split the bridge into two parts,
The lead riff:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------2-2---------------------------------------------------2---------|
A|-------------2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|
E|-0-0-0-3-------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------|
And the chords:
Em7 Cadd9
I am a hostage to my own humanity
G A7sus4
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Em7 Cadd9
And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me
G A7sus4
But I can't ask you to give what you already gave
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
A7sus4 Cadd9
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
Dsus (chucka-chucka)
I promise I'm going because...
[Chorus]
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I gotta get out of here
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G Dsus Cadd9 Dsus
I gotta get out of here
Em7 Dsus A7sus4 Dsus
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
[Outro]
The outro is optional coz its played by piano,
but I'll tab the chords out anyway:
Em7 Dsus Cadd9 only once for the acoustic version, but they do this
twice for the original version
G A7sus4 Cadd9
I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
Em7 Dsus Cadd9
Oh how we regret those things we do
G A7sus4 Cadd9 Em7
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
Dsus Cadd9
Oh-o, but so were you
[Ending]
(cause it's cool)
So were you
