D              G              A   G 
Josie sees her life as so complex
D               G                     A   G
She's got a     boyfriend his name is Rex
D                   G                 A    G
Rex is a pretty boy he runs all over town
D                        G                      A    G
Breaks the young giurl's heart when she's not around
C                               D
She doesn't like the life she's leading
C                            G  
But she's a prisoner of  the fear of leaving
                    D
But Josie's getting stronger
                 G
Josie's getting stronger
                       A 
She won't take it much longer
                   G            D  G
Oh Josie's getting stronger
D           G                  A      G
All Josie's friends are so disgusted
D                    G                      A    G 
By the fact that she claims she still loves him
D        G            A    G            
Oh Josie wants him to change
D                    G                         A    G 
But in her heart she knows he'll always be the same
C                   D
Oh he's enjoyed his freedom
C                                 G
He doesn't realize how much he'll need her
                    D
But Josie's getting stronger
                 G
Josie's getting stronger
                       A 
She won't take it much longer
                   G            D  G
Oh Josie's getting stronger
Em    C                 G   Bm
Josie kneels beside her bed stand
Em            C                   G               Bm
And prays for withered roses that slipped thru her hands
Em    C                      G   Bm
Josie she don't want your sympathy
Am                              D
She's so much stronger than she use to be
                    D
But Josie's getting stronger
                 G
Josie's getting stronger
                    D
But Josie's getting stronger
                 G
Josie's getting stronger
                    D
But Josie's getting stronger
                 G            D
Josie's getting stronger
