Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I am driving  up eighty  five in  the
  Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
,
  I’m just stuck inside the gloom
 etc
  Four more exits to my apartment but
 etc…
  I am tempted to keep the car in drive
 etc…
  And leave it all behind
 ‘Cause I...  wonder  sometimes about  the outcome
 Of a still  verdictless  life
 Am I living  it right?
 Am I living  it right?
 Am I living  it right?
Why,  why Georgia,  why?
 etc…
 Rent a room and I fill the spaces with
 etc…
 Wood in places to make it feel like home
,
  But all I feel’s alone
 It might be a quarter life crisis
 etc…
  Or just the stirring in my soul
 Either way I...  wonder  sometimes  about the outcome
 Of a still  verdictless  life
 Am I living  it right?
 Am I living  it right?
 Am I living  it right?
 Why,  why Georgia,  why?
 So what  so I’ve  got a smile  on?
 It’s hiding  the quiet  superstitions  in my head
Don’t  believe  me
Don’t  believe  me
 When I say I’ve got it  down
 etc…
  Everybody is just a stranger, but
 etc…
  that’s the danger in going my own way
 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
  Living  it right
 Am I living  it right?
 Am I living  it right?
 Why,  tell me why…
 Why,  why Georgia,  why?

[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

Rent a room and I fill the spaces with

Wood in places to make it feel like home

[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 [Em7]“everything h[D/F#]appens for a r[G]eason” is no
re[A7sus4]ason    not to    ask myself if I am

     [D]Living it r[A]ight    [G]

Am I [D]living it r[A]ight?   [G]
Wh[Fsus2]y,     tell me why…
Wh[Fsus2]y,     why Geo[Cadd9]rgia, why[G]?
