[VERSE 1]
[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
        G                           D
Just a jump ahead of what I left behind

[VERSE 2]
[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                                    D
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
A                  G                D
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
G                                   D
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears?
A                 G               D
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

[Fill 1] x 4

[VERSE 3]
[Fill 1]                                G          D
Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost
           G                               D
With the closest thing to love I've ever known
D                                          G           D
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to cross
          G                                   D
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own

[VERSE 4]
[Fill 1]                              G            D
Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
      G                              D
For another empty place I've never been
D                                            G          D
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
         G                                [Fill 1]
But someday I may just chase her down again

[Fill 1]

Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
A                  G                D
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
G                                   D
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears?
A                 G               D
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet
