	        Intro: G Bm A 


G       D                    A 
Who are you if not the one I met 
G        D                          A 
One July night before the town went wet 
G        D                   A 
Jack and coke in your mama's car 
                     G        D  A 
You were reading The Bell Jar 

G         D                         A 
Where are you if you're not on your own 
G      D                    A 
Always lonely, never quite alone 
G           D                          A 
Where's the Jesus that you swore you'd find 
                  G          D  A 
After running the last line 


G Are you living the life you chose Bm A Are you living the life that chose you G Are you taking the grown up dose Bm A Do you live with a man who knows you A G Like I thought I did back then Bm A G Bm A But I guess I never did, who did I kid?
G D A I got lucky when I finished school G D A Lost three fingers to a faulty tool G D A Settled out of court, I'm no one's fool G D A You probably knew G D A There's plenty left to make a getaway G D A I've spent enough nights in the bluegrass state G D A We could go somewhere where people stay up late G D A Or just somewhere new
G Are you living the life you chose Bm A Are you living the life that chose you G Are you taking the grown up dose Bm A Do you live with a man who knows you A G Like I thought I did back then Bm A G Bm A But I guess I never did, who did I kid?
Bridge: Em A D G Here I am inviting you to throw your life away Em A D A victim of nostalgia maybe take away Em A D G Just tonight I realized that I am still in your backseat Em A D A Nothing I've had since has meant a thing to me
G Are you living the life you chose Bm A Are you living the life that chose you G Are you taking the grown up dose Bm A Do you live with a man who knows you A G Like I thought I did back then Bm A G Bm A But I guess I never did, who did I kid?
