F/C   Am   G


[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   G
You were reading The Bell Jar

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

[Chorus]
F/C
    Are you living the life you chose
Am
    Are you living the life that chose
G
you
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/C
then...
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    G
You 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   G
Or just somewhere new

[Chorus]
F/C
    Are you living the life you chose
Am
    Are you living the life that chose
G
you
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/C
then...
Am
   But I guess I never did
G
   ...Did I kid?
F/C   Am   G

[Bridge]
Am             G          C
Here I am inviting you to throw your life away
Am             G           C
Victim of nostalgia maybe Tanqueray
Am              G                 C
Just tonight I realized that I am still in your backseat
Am           G              C
Nothing 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
G
you
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/C
then...
Am
   But I guess I never did
G
   ...Did I kid?
F/C   Am   G
