[Verse]
G     D         G          D
I am driving up eighty five in the 
G         D          G         D      C
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon 
C                                    G     D     G     D
I’m just stuck inside the gloom 
 
G         D        G     D
Four more exits to my apartment but 
G     D         G        D       C
I am tempted to keep the car in drive 
C                         G      D     G      D
And leave it all behind 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   Em    D               G          Em
Cos I... wonder sometimes about the outcome
             D            G
Of a still verdictless life 
 
[Chorus]
     D          A G
Am I living it right 
     D          A G
Am I living it right 
     D          A G
Am I living it right
F             C         G      D     G     D
Why why Georgia why 
 
[Verse]
G      D           G         D
Rent a room and I fill the spaces with 
G          D        G       D        C
Wood and places to make it feel like home 
C                      G        D
But all I feel’s alone 
 
G             D              C
It might be a quarter life crisis 
C                                G       D    G      D
Or just the stirring in my soul 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            Em    D              G          Em
Either way  I... wonder sometimes about the outcome
             D            G
Of a still verdictless life 
 
[Chorus]
     D          A G
Am I living it right 
     D          A G
Am I living it right 
     D          A G
Am I living it right
F             C                G
Why why Georgia why 
 
[Bridge]
F    C     G
So what so I’ve got a smile on
F    C            G
It’s hiding the quiet superstitions in my head 
G      C        D
Don’t believe me
G               C       D
Don’t you dare believe me 
        Em D     C  D       G  D  G  D G  D G  D
When I say I’ve got it down 
 
[Verse]
G    D        G        D
Everybody is just a stranger 
      G         D        G     D      Em
But that’s the danger in going my own way 
Em                                  G    D     G    D
I guess it’s a price I have to pay
       Em         D             G
Still everything happens for a reason 
       D
Is no reason not to ask yourself if you are 
 
[Chorus]
D          A G
Living it right
         D          A G
Are you living it right 
         D          A G
Are you living it right 
F                            C        G     D    G     D
Why tell me why why why Georgia why

Great tab! This one is my favorite. Maestro doesn't understand that its supposed to be simple, I like this one because I can just play the basic chords and mess around with hammer ons and all that good stuff to shift the chords on my own time. Best one I've seen, thanks.

Lots of wrong chords here. Close, but not quite: Em at end of 2nd line should be C6/9 "so what so I've got a smile on" should be F2, Bb2, C2 lots of chord extensions missing (em7, Gsus2, D/F#, etc. Lyrics: I wonder, not I wander.
