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