F/C Am G
[Verse 1]
F/C C G
Who are you if not the one I met
F/C C G
One July night before the town went wet?
F/C C G
Jack and Coke in your mama's car
F/C C G
You were reading The Bell Jar
[Verse 2]
F/C C G
Where are you if you're not on your own?
F/C C G
Always lonely, never quite alone
F/C C G
Where's the Jesus that you swore you'd find
F/C C G
After running the last line?
[Chorus]
F/C
Are you living the life you chose
Am
Are you living the life that chose
G
you
F/C
Are you taking a grown up dose
Am
Do you live with a man who knows
G
you, like I, thought I did back
F/C
then...
Am
But I guess I never did
G
...Did I kid?
F/C Am G
[Verse 3]
F/C C G
I got lucky when I finished school
F/C C G
Lost three fingers to a faulty tool
F/C C G
Settled out of court, I'm no one's fool
F/C C G
You probably knew
[Verse 4]
F/C C G
There's plenty left to make a getaway
F/C C G
I've spent enough nights in the bluegrass state
F/C C G
We could go somewhere where people stay up late
F/C C G
Or just somewhere new
[Chorus]
F/C
Are you living the life you chose
Am
Are you living the life that chose
G
you
F/C
Are you taking a grown up dose
Am
Do you live with a man who knows
G
you, like I, thought I did back
F/C
then...
Am
But I guess I never did
G
...Did I kid?
F/C Am G
[Bridge]
Am G C
Here I am inviting you to throw your life away
Am G C
Victim of nostalgia maybe Tanqueray
Am G C
Just tonight I realized that I am still in your backseat
Am G C
Nothing I've had since has meant a thing to me
[Chorus]
F/C
Are you living the life you chose
Am
Are you living the life that chose
G
you
F/C
Are you taking a grown up dose
Am
Do you live with a man who knows
G
you, like I, thought I did back
F/C
then...
Am
But I guess I never did
G
...Did I kid?
F/C Am G
