G     D         G          D
I am driving up eighty five in the 
G         D          G         D      Em
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon 
Em                                    G     D,     G     D
I’m just stuck inside the gloom 

G         D        G     D
Four more exits to my apartment but 
G     D         G        D       Em         
I am tempted to keep the car in drive 
Em                         G      D,     G      D
And leave it all behind 

   Em    D               G          Em 
Cos I... wander sometimes about the outcome
             D            G
Of a still verdictless life 

     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right
F             C         G      D,     G     D
Why, why Georgia, why 

G      D           G         D          
Rent a room and I fill the spaces with 
G          D        G       D        Em
Wood and places to make it feel like home 
Em                      G        D
But all I feel’s alone 

G             D              Em          
It might be a quarter life crisis 
Em                                G       D,    G      D
Or just the stirring in my soul 
                                          
                
            Em    D              G          Em
Either way  I... wander sometimes about the outcome
             D            G
Of a still verdictless life 

     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right
F             C                G       
Why, why Georgia, why 

F    C     G 
So what so I’ve got a smile on
F    C            G 
It’s hiding the quiet superstitions in my head 
G      C        D
Don’t believe me
G               C       D
Don’t you dare believe me 
        Em D     C  D       G  D,  G  D, G  D, G  D 
When I say I’ve got it down 

G    D        G        D
Everybody is just a stranger 
      G         D        G     D      Em
But that’s the danger in going my own way 
Em                                  G    D,     G    D
I guess it’s a price I have to pay
       Em         D             G                    
Still everything happens for a reason 
       D 
Is no reason not to ask yourself if you are 

D          A G 
Living it right
         D          A G 
Are you living it right 
         D          A G 
Are you living it right 
F                            C        G     D,    G     D
Why, tell me why, why, why, Georgia, why
