[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]
[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
