[Intro]
C Dm Am F (x2)
[Verse 1]
C G
Josie took a cab out of town
Am
And then she turned it around
F C
She said they'll never let me leave this place
G
She gave the cabbie her money
Am
And said don't look down
F
He didn't have a clue what she was talkin' about
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Am
All the locals know her as Jo
F Dm
She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes
G Am
She likes to get high when she's low
F Dm
And break the hearts of boys for the fun of it all
[Chorus]
C Dm Am-F
Josie rides closely to the li-ne
C Am F-Dm
She's high and she's tryin' to surv-ive
G Am F-Dm
Born with a little bit of trouble in her ey-es
G Dm Am
Josie rides closely to the line
Dm C Dm C
Go Josie go go Josie go
[Interlude]
Am F
[Verse 2]
C G Am
Johnnie cut a deal for an album that he never put out
F
He's got a place and a bed for when he's coming down
C G
Josie sees something that he don't see in himself
F Dm
And now she looks the other way when he's fucking around
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Am
All the locals say they don't know
F Dm
Why she lives so fast and she moves so slow
[Chorus]
C Dm Am-F
Josie rides closely to the li-ne
C Am F-Dm
She's high and she's tryin' to surv-ive
G Am F-Dm
Born with a little bit of trouble in her ey-es
G Dm Am
Josie rides closely to the line
Dm C
Go Josie go
[Bridge]
Dm Am
It's okay don't change
F C
Just throw it all away
Dm Am
It's okay don't change
F C
Just throw it all away
Dm Am
Go Josie go go Josie go
F C
Just throw it all away
Dm Am
It's okay don't change
Dm C
Go Josie go
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Am
All the locals know her as Jo

She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes
G Am
She likes to get high when she's low
F Dm
And break the hearts of boys for the fun of it all
[Chorus]
C Dm Am-F
Josie rides closely to the li-ne
C Am F-Dm
She's high and she's tryin' to surv-ive
G Am F-Dm
Born with a little bit of trouble in her ey-es

Josie rides closely to the line
Dm C
Go Josie go
[Outro]

Josie rides closely to the li-ne
C Am F-Dm
She's high and she's tryin' to surv-ive
