[Verse 1]
F/C          C                    G    Who are you if not the one I met
F/C          C                              G   One July night before the town went wet?
F/C          C                        G   Jack and Coke in your mama's car
                             F/C   C   GYou were reading The Bell Jar

[Verse 2]
F/C          C                    GWhere are you if you're not on your own?
F/C          C                    GAlways lonely, never quite alone
F/C          C                    GWhere's the Jesus that you swore you'd find
                             F/C   C   GAfter running the last line?

[Chorus]
F/C    Are you living the life you chose
Am    Are you living the life that chose
Gyou
F/C    Are you taking a grown up dose
Am    Do you live with a man who knows
G   you, like I, thought I did back
F/Cthen...
Am   But I guess I never did
G   ...Did I kid?
F/C   Am   G

[Verse 3]
F/C       C                           G   I got lucky when I finished school
F/C            C                        G   Lost three fingers to a faulty tool
F/C          C                          G    Settled out of court, I'm no one's fool
F/C           C    GYou probably knew

[Verse 4]
F/C                C                       G   There's plenty left to make a getaway
F/C                C                           G    I've spent enough nights in the bluegrass state
F/C              C                                  G    We could go somewhere where people stay up late
                      F/C   C   GOr just somewhere new

[Chorus]
F/C    Are you living the life you chose
Am    Are you living the life that chose
Gyou
F/C    Are you taking a grown up dose
Am    Do you live with a man who knows
G   you, like I, thought I did back
F/Cthen...
Am   But I guess I never did
G   ...Did I kid?
F/C   Am   G

[Bridge]
Am             G          CHere I am inviting you to throw your life away
Am             G           CVictim of nostalgia maybe Tanqueray
Am              G                 CJust tonight I realized that I am still in your backseat
Am           G              CNothing I've had since has meant a thing to me

[Chorus]
F/C    Are you living the life you chose
Am    Are you living the life that chose
Gyou
F/C    Are you taking a grown up dose
Am    Do you live with a man who knows
G   you, like I, thought I did back
F/Cthen...
Am   But I guess I never did
G   ...Did I kid?
F/C   Am   G
