VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
I've been chasing after Josie since the day I could run
G [Fill 1]
Even though I didn't know it at the time
[Fill 1] G D
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone
Just a j[G]ump ahead of what I left beh[D]ind
VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
She was proud of her young body as a body could be
G [Fill 1]
On her way to be a woman of the world
[Fill 1] G D
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
G [Fill 1]
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl
[Fill 1]
CHORUS:
[G]Josie, is it true that you've grown h[D]arder than your years
[A]Sellin' them your s[G]adness on the str[D]eet
[G]How much did you lose between the la[D]ughter and the tears?
[A]Gettin' back the b[G]itter for the sw[D]eet
[Fill 1] x 4
VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost
With the cl[G]osest thing to love I've ever kn[D]own
[D]And she led me through some bridges I was b[G]urnin' to cr[D]oss
Then she w[G]ent and burned some bridges of her o[D]wn
VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
For an[G]other empty place I've never be[D]en
[D]And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lo[G]okin' for m[D]e
G [Fill 1]
But someday I may just chase her down again
[Fill 1]
