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

[Fill 1] x 4

VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
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 through some bridges I was burnin’ to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own

VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
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
G [Fill 1]
But someday I may just chase her down again

[Fill 1]

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