Chords for John Mayer - Why Georgia - 2019 - Live at State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA

_ I wrote this next song out of Borders Books [F#] in Marietta, Georgia.
[C#] _ _ _
_ _ I had forgotten [A#] my guitar, if you can believe [D] it or not.
And I had left work, [G] and I was headed down 85.
[N] _ _ _ _ _
And then I realized I had forgotten my [F#] guitar, but traffic going the other way was just absolutely bumper to bumper.
_ That was a horrible [F] feeling.
I had no guitar, and I was going [F#] on Big Gig, Borders Books.
And they either gave you like _ [A#] 30 bucks cash or like 50 bucks store [D#] credit or something like that.
_ So I took the 50 bucks [E] and I got a book on how to make more [C] money, and here I am.
_ [F#] _ That's how you do it, people.
_ _ And [C#] this is no lie, [D] I was so flustered.
[C#] I borrowed a guitar [A] from the great Sean Mullins, actually.
I [F#] stopped by Sean Mullins' house because he [Gm] was on the way.
I need a guitar.
[F#] So [A#] sorry, you hardly know me.
[D#] I know you think I'm a punk, but I [B] please you to borrow a guitar.
And I [E] borrowed his guitar, and there were the four people [G#] waiting for me, and God [Bm] bless the four people waiting there.
And it was me again, me versus the coffee [C#m] machine.
_ _ _ [N] I didn't have that kind of firepower at the time.
I only had a little PA, and they had a_
[G] I think it was a bun.
I think it might have been a bun.
I can't be sure.
You know a [F#] bun?
You ever see a bun?
B-U-N-N?
Anyway, I was just trying to think of a funny one.
[B] And I was so [G] frustrated that I just started making [A] this song up.
And the song was about how [G#m] I [Bm] had had this terrible afternoon.
[A#m] _ [G] And that's where the [A] song picks up.
It [Gm] goes like this.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I am driving, _ 85 [G] in the [D] kind of morning, _ last [Bm] whole [C] afternoon. _ _ _
_ _ I'm just stuck [D] inside the car.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Follow the exit to my apartment.
I am tempted to keep the car with [C] the ride. _
_ _ _ _ [B] And leave this [D] shit behind.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Because I, _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ sometime,
[G] _ _ _ _
I'm not [C] the outcome [C] _ [Em] of a _ _ _ stardomless [F#m] _ _ _
_ [G] life.
_ [Am] _ _ _ [D]
Am I living it right?
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] Why, _ _ _ _ why, _
[C] Charles, [G] why?
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm right to a [G] man that's [D] filled his [G] spaces with [D] burning [G] faces.
To make him feel [C] right, wrong. _
_ _ [G] _ _ But all I feel for all,
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ It might be a quarter like I said. _ _ _
I just was starving in my [D] son. _
He knows.
Give you a quick, [Em] I know _ _ _ [G] _ you know, [D] short of _ [G] time.
_ But maybe I'm the outcome [Bm] of a _ _ _ stardomless _ _ [D] _ _ [G] life.
[Am] Oh, yeah.
[D] Am I living it [A]
right?
[G] _ Am _ _ _ [D]
I living [A] it [B] right?
_ [Em] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] Why, _ _
_ _ [F] why, _ _ [G] Charles, why? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [A#] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [C] Don't believe [D] it. _
[G] _ _ _ _ Don't believe _
[D] _ [C] it.
_ [Em] I see [D] a _ [C] guy [F] with a gun.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ Everybody's [D] just a stranger.
[G] _
That's not dangerous.
_ Oh, you've got [C] no reason. _ _ _ _
This [G] is the best I've ever been. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Stand alone, pretend, [D] laugh for a [G] reason.
It [A] don't mean I'm not you.
I ask that [D] if I'm living [A] it [G] right. _
_ Yeah.
Am [D] I living it [A] right?
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] Am I living it [A] right?
[G] _ _ _
Now I [C] know [F] why.
You know why _ _ I don't lie. _
_ Why, _ [C] _ _ Charles, why?
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ Thank you so much. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
