[Intro]
C  Em7  Am  F
C  Em7  Am  F

[Verse]
C                       Em7
Josie took a cab out of town
                        Am
And then she turned it around
    F                          G7
She said "they'll never let me leave this place"
C                       Em7
She gave the cabbie her money
                     Am
And said "don't look down"
                           G7
He didn't have a clue what she was talkin' about

[Pre-Chorus]
G7             Am
All the locals know her as Jo
    F
She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes
G7                    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           Em7            Am   F
Josie rides closely to the line
G7    C               Em7           Am  F
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
G7                        Am             F
Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes
G7          Am             F
Josie rides closely to the line
F        C   Em7  Am  F
Go Josie go

[Verse]
C                         Em7                      Am
Johnnie cut a deal for an album, that he never put out
Am                              G7               C
He's got a place and a bed, for when he's coming down
C                             Em7             Am
Josie sees something, that he don't see in himself
Am                          F                       G7
And now she looks the other way, when he's fucking around

[Pre-Chorus]
G7             Am
All the locals say they don't know
        F
Why she lives so fast, and she moves so slow

[Chorus]
C           Em7            Am   F
Josie rides closely to the line
G7    C               Em7           Am   F
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
G7                        Am             F
Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes
G7          Am             F
Josie rides closely to the line
F        C
Go Josie go

[Bridge]
      Em7        Am
It's okay, don't change
     F                 C
Just throw it all away
      Em7        Am
It's okay, don't change
     F                 C
Just throw it all away
C        Em7          Am
Go Josie go, go Josie go
     F
Just throw it all away
C     Em7        Am
It's okay, don't change
F        G7
Go Josie go

[Instrumental]
G7 Am F  G7 Am F

[Pre-Chorus]
G7             Am
All the locals know her as Jo
F
She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes
G7                    Am
She likes to get high when she's low
Am            F         N.C.
And break the hearts of boys for the fun of it all

[Chorus]
C           Em7            Am   F
Josie rides closely to the line
G7    C               Em7           Am   F
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
G7                        Am             F
Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes
G7          Am             F
Josie rides closely to the line
F        C
Go Josie go

[Outro]
C           Em7            Am   F
Josie rides closely to the line
G7    C               Em7           Am   F
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
F        C  Em7 Am F   C  Em7 Am
Go Josie go
Am       C
Go Josie go
