[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                       
Just a jump ahead of what I left 
    D
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]

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

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

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