F#m                         C#m  D
When I think of Georgia, I think of you
          A           E     F#m
High as a kite in the second pew
                            F#m  D
You were my best friend, the light of my youth
       A                        E       F#m7           F#m
And the only one back then that knew the whole truth

[Chorus 1]
          E       Bm
'Cause if I told my mom
          D                        A
She would scream at the top of her lungs
       E            Bm
Saying I don't be - long
D            A
I don't be - long
                E
Sure hope she's wrong

[Verse 2]
 F#m
I wanted to be honest
            D
I wanted to be brave
          A
But if my grandmother knew
                 F#m           F#m7
She would roll in her grave
       F#m
And my father would scream
                D
He'd scream ou- out in rage
                  A                  F#m
He did not want a daughter whose soul wasn't saved

[Chorus 2]
              E           Bm
He thought if I told the world
           D                      A
They would not see me as the same girl
           E            Bm   A   D
They'd say I don't be - loooonngg...
              A
I don't be - long
                     E
Well, that's where he-e’s wrong

[Verse 3]
                   C#m            D
There is a place past the Georgia pines
           A                      E    F#m
And people who welcome you with an open mind
                               A         D
And they say it'll take, it'll just take some time
                 A       E           F#m
'Til love, it belongs to all human - kind
           E          Bm
Oh, 'cause I told the world
         D                        A
And they still saw me as the same girl
          E          Bm
They li - sten to my songs
         D                        A
And they made me feel like I be - long
           D                        A
Yeah, they make me feel like I be - long
   D      A      D             F#m
Oh Geor - gia - ahhh, you were wrong
