The Life You Chose Acoustic chords by Jason Isbell

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?
