[Intro]
Gsus2 D Dsus D (4x)
[Verse]
Gsus2 D Dsus D Gsus2 D Dsus D
I am driving up eighty five in the
Gsus2 D Dsus D Gsus2 D Dsus D C6/9
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
C6/9 Gsus2 D Dsus D, Gsus2 D Dsus D
I’m just stuck inside the gloom
Gsus2 etc…
Four more exits to my apartment but
Gsus2 etc… C6/9
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
C6/9 Gsus2 etc…
And leave it all behind
Em7 D/F# G Cadd9
‘Cause I... wonder sometimes about the outcome
Em7 D/F# G A7sus
Of a still verdictless life
[Chorus]
D A G
Am I living it right?
D A Em7
Am I living it right?
D A G
Am I living it right?
Fsus2 Cadd9
Why, why Georgia, why?
Gsus2 D Dsus D (4x)
[Verse]
Gsus2 etc…
Rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Gsus2 etc… C6/9
Wood in places to make it feel like home
C6/9 Gsus2 D Dsus D,
But all I feel’s alone
Gsus2 D Dsus D C6/9
It might be a quarter life crisis
C6/9 Gsus2 etc…
Or just the stirring in my soul
Em7 D/F# G Cadd9
Either way I... wonder sometimes about the outcome
Em7 D/F# G A7sus
Of a still verdictless life
[Chorus]
D A G
Am I living it right?
D A Em7
Am I living it right?
D A G
Am I living it right?
Fsus2 Cadd9 G Gmaj7
Why, why Georgia, why?
[Bridge]
Fsus2 Bbsus2 Csus2 Bbsus2
So what so I’ve got a smile on?
Fsus2 Bbsus2 Csus2 Bbsus2
It’s hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
G Cadd9 Dadd4 Cadd9
Don’t believe me
G Cadd9 Dadd4 Cadd9
Don’t believe me
Em7 Dsus2 Gm/C Fsus2
When I say I’ve got it down
Gsus2 D Dsus D (4x)
[Verse]
Gsus2 etc…
Everybody is just a stranger, but
Gsus2 etc… C6/9
that’s the danger in going my own way
C6/9 Gsus2 etc…
I guess it’s the price I have to pay
Em7 D/F# G
Still “everything happens for a reason” is no
A7sus
reason not to ask myself if I am
[Chorus]
D A G
Living it right
D A Em7
Am I living it right?
D A G
Am I living it right?
Fsus2
Why, tell me why…
Fsus2 Cadd9 G
Why, why Georgia, why?

My goal here was just to get the correct chord structure. John doesn't just strum these chords, he has picked-out riffs he plays, which weren't my goal to decipher. Someone better than me at tab can do that legwork.
If you've been playing six years and still can't remember where your fingers go for D, Dsus, Gsus2, Cadd9, em7, and A, then you need to get that chip off your shoulder and practice a little more. I'll grant you there are a couple weird ones you'll have to look up the first time, but don't whine about it like a 7th grade girl.

Not bad for chords. Agreed, this song is not meant to be played in chords, but its pretty good. And bjoelfan13, I have been playing about 3 years or so, and I know where all those are. Maybe you need to practice a bit more. Overall, this was not bad on the chorus and verses, but toward the end it got a little odd. It needs some mroe work, but overall, good job.

Thank you! this is a really great way to follow along with other tabs and get the timing down. Much appreciated.
