Intro

Gsus2 D Dsus D (4x)

Verse

I am driving up eighty five in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon 
C6/9 Gsus2 D Dsus D, Gsus2 D Dsus D
I’m just stuck inside the gloom
Gsus2 etc…
Four more exits to my apartment but
Gsus2 etc… C6/9
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
C6/9 Gsus2 etc…
And leave it all behind
‘Cause I... wonder sometimes about the outcome
Of a still verdictless life  

Chorus

Am I living it right? 
Am I living it right? 
Am I living it right? 
Why, why Georgia, why?
Gsus2 D Dsus D (4x)

Verse

Gsus2 etc…
Rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Gsus2 etc… C6/9
Wood in places to make it feel like home
C6/9 Gsus2 D Dsus D,
But all I feel’s alone
It might be a quarter life crisis 
C6/9 Gsus2 etc…
Or just the stirring in my soul
Either way I... wonder sometimes about the outcome
Of a still verdictless life  

Chorus

Am I living it right? 
Am I living it right? 
Am I living it right? 
Why, why Georgia, why?  

Bridge

So what so I’ve got a smile on?
It’s hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
G Cadd9 Dadd4 Cadd9
Don’t believe me
G Cadd9 Dadd4 Cadd9
Don’t believe me
Em7 Dsus2 Gm/C Fsus2
When I say I’ve got it down
Gsus2 D Dsus D (4x)

Verse

Gsus2 etc…
Everybody is just a stranger, but
Gsus2 etc… C6/9
that’s the danger in going my own way
C6/9 Gsus2 etc…
I guess it’s the price I have to pay
Still “everything happens for a reason” is no
reason not to ask myself if I am

Chorus

Living it right 
Am I living it right? 
Am I living it right? 
Why, tell me why…
Why, why Georgia, why?
