[G]
I am driving, 85 in the kind of mode that lasts all [Am] afternoon
Just stuck inside the [G] gloom
Four more exits to my apartment
But I am tempted to keep the [Am] car in drive
And leave it all [D] behind
[G]
[Em] Cause I'm [G] [D] sometimes [G] about [C] the outcome [Em] of a [G] [D] sterilized [G] life
[A] Am [D] I living it [G] right?
[D] Am I living it [Em]
right?
[D] Am I living it [G] right?
Why, [F] why, why, [C] Georgia [G] why?
[D] I rent a room [G] and I [D] fill the spaces [G] with [D] wooden places
[G] To make it feel [C] like home
But all I feel [G] so long
It [D] might be a quarter life [C] crisis
But just the stirring in [G] my [D] soul
[G]
[D] Even [Em] when I'm
[D] sometimes [G] about [C] the outcome [Em] of a
[D] sanitarious [G] life
[A] Am [D] I living it right?
[G]
[D] Am I living it right?
[Em] Am [D] I living it [G] right?
[F] Why, why, [C] why, Georgia [G] why?
So [Bb] what, so [Am] [F] I've got [Bb] a smile on
[F] [Cm] But [Bb] it's hiding [C] the quiet [Bb] [C] superstitions in [G] my head
Don't believe me
Don't believe [D] [G] me
But I say [Dm] [Cm] I've got [C] it
[G] down
Everybody's just a stranger
But that's the danger in going my [C] own way
[G] I guess it's the price I have to pay
But I'm still
[Em] and everything [D] happens for a [G] reason
There's no [A] reason not to ask myself
If [D] I'm living it
[G] right
[D] Am I living it [Em] right?
Am [D] I living it
[G] right?
[F] Why, tell me why
Why, why, [C] Georgia [G] why?
