INTRO: D 

          D                             G           D
I've been chasin' after Josie since the day I could run
          G                         D
Even though I didn't know it at the time
                                       G          D
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone
       G                               D
Just a jump ahead from what I'd left behind


She was proud of her young body as a body could be
On her way to be a woman of the world
And I still can see her smilin' as she gave it to me
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl


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


INTRO


Well she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost
With the closest thing to love I've ever known
And she led me to bridges I was burnin' to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own

Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
For another empty place I've never been
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
But someday I'll maybe chase her down again


CHORUS
