I am (D)driv ing up Eight y (D)five in the kind of (D)morn ing that lasts all (D)af ter noon.
I’m just stuck in side the gloom.
Four more (D)ex its to my a (D)part ment, but I am (D)tempt ed to keep the (D)car in drive,

Be cause I
won der some times
a bout the out come
of a still

Am I (D)liv ing it right?
Am I (D)liv ing it right?
Am I (D)liv ing it right?
Why,
why,
Geor gia, why?
I rent a (D)room and I fill the (D)spac es with wood in (D)plac es to make it (Gmaj7)feel like home.
But all I feel’s a lone.
It might be a (Gmaj7)quar ter life cri sis,
or just the stir ring in my soul.
(D)Ei ther way, I
So what, so I’ve got a smile on,

Ev ’ry (D)bod y is just a (D)stran ger, but that’s the (D)dan ger in go ing (Gmaj7)my own way.
I guess it’s the price I have to pay, yeah, (D)yeah.
Still, (Em)“ev ’ry thing hap pens for a rea son” is no rea son not to ask my self if I’m (D)liv ing it right?
Am I (D)liv ing it right?
Am I (D)liv ing it right?
Why,
