The Life You Chose Acoustic chords by Jason Isbell
Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro:
F Am G 2x
Verse:
F C G
Who are you if not the one I met
F C G
One July night before the town went wet?
F C G
Jack and coke in your momma's car.
F C G
You were reading The Bell Jar.
F C G
Where are you if you're not on your own?
F C G
Always lonely, never quite alone.
F C G
Where's the Jesus that you swore you'd find
F C G
after running the last line?
Chorus:
F
Are you living the life you chose?
Am G
Are you living the life that chose you?
F
Are you taking the grown up dose?
Am G
Do you live with a man who knows you
G F Am
Like I thought I did back then?
Am G
But I guess I never did.
F Am G
Did I kid?
Verse:
F C G
I got lucky when I finished school.
F C G
Lost three fingers to a faulty tool.
F C G
Settled out of court. I'm no one's fool.
F C G
You probably knew.
F C G
There's plenty left to make a getaway.
F C G
I've spent enough nights in the bluegrass state.
F C G
We could go somewhere where people stay up late,
F C G
or just somewhere new.
Chorus:
F
Are you living the life you chose?
Am G
Are you living the life that chose you?
F
Are you taking the grown up dose?
Am G
Do you live with a man who knows you
G F Am
Like I thought I did back then?
Am G
But I guess I never did.
F Am G
Did I kid?
Bridge:
Dm G C F
And here I am inviting you to throw your life away.
Dm G C
A victim of nostalgia, maybe Tanqueray.
Dm G C F
But just tonight, I realized I am still in your backseat.
Dm G C G
And nothing I've had since has meant a thing to me.
Chorus:
F
Are you living the life you chose?
Am G
Are you living the life that chose you?
F
Are you taking the grown up dose?
Am G
Do you live with a man who knows you
G F Am
Like I thought I did back then?
Am G
But I guess I never did.
F Am G
Did I kid? Last updated:
