[Intro]
G (x4)
[Verse]
G
Headin' west on twenty, just past Birmingham
G D G
Not sure where I'm going, I just can't turn back again
G G
And I got headlights on the highway, I gotta heart that's away back home
D C D G
And a picture of a life I lost to remind me why I'm gone
[Chorus]
G C D G
And that's why I left Atlanta
C D G
I drove away in a early mornin' haze
G C D Em C
Yes that's why I left Atlanta
G D G
Me and Georgia seen our better days
[Verse]
G
Settled outside the city, and bought a house and a little land
G D G
Built our hopes on dreamin', til those dreams got out of hand
G G
And I was after something, I could never be
D C D G
I guess she finally grew too tired of waitin' 'round on me
[Chorus]
G C D G
And that's why I left Atlanta
C D G
I drove away in a early mornin' haze
G C D Em C
Yes that's why I left Atlanta
G D G
Me and Georgia seen our better days
[Bridge]
Em D
I wish you could've held on a little longer
Em D
I wish I could've been a little stronger
[Verse]
G
God knows things don't always, work out like you plan
G D G
Well I could, tell you my story, I just don't know how it will end
G G
So I'll keep right on drivin' till I, run out of gas
D C D G
And start again where I end up ain't no use in lookin' back
[Outro] (x2)
G D G
Me and Georgia seen our better days
