Intro:
FF A minorAm G+G 2x

Verse:
FF    C majorC          G+G
Who are you if not the one I met
FF    C majorC             G+G
One July night before the town went wet?
FF    C majorC          G+G
Jack and coke in your momma's car.
           FF    C majorC G+G
You were reading The Bell Jar.

FF     C majorC             G+G
Where are you if you're not on your own?
FF     C majorC           G+G
Always lonely, never quite alone.
FF      C majorC               G+G
Where's the Jesus that you swore you'd find
          FF    C majorC G+G
after running the last line?

Chorus:
FF
Are you living the life you chose?
A minorAm                 G+G
Are you living the life that chose you?
FF
Are you taking the grown up dose?
A minorAm                G+G
Do you live with a man who knows you
G+G             FF  A minorAm
Like I thought I did back then?
A minorAm          G+G
But I guess I never did.
   FF  A minorAm G+G
Did I kid?

Verse:
FF   C majorC             G+G
I got lucky when I finished school.
FF    C majorC             G+G
Lost three fingers to a faulty tool.
FF    C majorC              G+G
Settled out of court. I'm no one's fool.
        FF  C majorC G+G
You probably knew.

FF       C majorC            G+G
There's plenty left to make a getaway.
FF      C majorC                 G+G
I've spent enough nights in the bluegrass state.
    FF    C majorC              G+G
We could go somewhere where people stay up late,
        FF  C majorC G+G
or just somewhere new.

Chorus:
FF
Are you living the life you chose?
A minorAm                 G+G
Are you living the life that chose you?
FF
Are you taking the grown up dose?
A minorAm                G+G
Do you live with a man who knows you
G+G             FF   A minorAm
Like I thought I did back then?
A minorAm          G+G
But I guess I never did.
   FF  A minorAm G+G
Did I kid?

Bridge:
  DmDm     G+G       C majorC        FF
And here I am inviting you to throw your life away.
 DmDm      G+G      C majorC
A augmentedA victim of nostalgia, maybe Tanqueray.
  DmDm        G+G       C majorC        FF
But just tonight, I realized I am still in your backseat.
  DmDm        G+G         C majorC     G+G
And nothing I've had since has meant a thing to me.

Chorus:
FF
Are you living the life you chose?
A minorAm                 G+G
Are you living the life that chose you?
FF
Are you taking the grown up dose?
A minorAm                G+G
Do you live with a man who knows you
G+G             FF   A minorAm
Like I thought I did back then?
A minorAm          G+G
But I guess I never did.
   FF  A minorAm G+G
Did I kid?
