CMT Crossroad with John Mayer
G D G D
I am driving up eighty five in the
G D G D Em
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
Em G D, G
I'm just stuck inside the gloom
G D G D
Four more exits to my apartment but
G D G D Em
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
Em G D, G D
And leave it all behind
Em D G Em
Cause I... wander sometimes about the outcome
D G
Of a still verdictless life
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
G D G D
Rent a room and I fill the spaces with
G D G D Em
Wood and places to make it feel like home
Em G D
But all I feel is alone
G D Em
It might be a quarter life crisis
Em G D, G D
Or just the stirring in my soul
Em D G Em
Either way I... wander sometimes about the outcome
D G
Of a still verdictless life
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
F C G
So what so Ive got a smile on
F C G
Its hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
G C D
Dont believe me
G C D
Dont you dare believe me
Em D C D G D, G D, G D, G D
When I say Ive got it down
G D G D
Everybody is just a stranger
G D G D Em
But thats the danger in going my own way
Em G D, G D
I guess its 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
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
This is my first tab...and constructive criticism is appreciated.
