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
