| I've been chasin' after Josie since the d | ay I could r | un |
| F | C | |
| Even t | ho' I didn't know it at the t | ime |
| Well I followed her from Texas 'till she found me undone |
| Just a jump ahead of what I'd left behind |
| She was as 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 smile as she gave it to me |
| Lookin' like a lonesome little girl |

| Cho.. | Josie, is it true that you've grown | harder than your years |
| G | F | C | |
| Selling them your | saddness in the | street |
| F | C | |
| How much did you lose between the | laughter & the tears |
| G | F | C | |
| Gettin back the | bitter for the | sweet |
| 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 some bridges I was burning to cross |
| Then she went & burned some bridges of her own |
| Now the roads 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. |
| Cho.. |
