Josie's on a vacation far away Pt. 2

Well, I noticed that pretty much the only traffic I get to this P.O.S blog is hits from Google searches for something to do with one of my old posts called "Josie's on a vacation far away" which is, of course, part of the lyrics to the song "Your Love" by The Police or Outfield or your choice of other countless covers. The post has absolutely nothing to do with the song, it was just a bit of lyrics that I had stuck in my head and I felt slightly guilty for tricking all those poor schmucks into coming here via Google.

So, since I'm now learning to play the guitar (again), I figure it can't hurt to put up the tabs and lyrics and maybe I'll learn it too. We'll learn together, now won't that be fun! By the way, I got a new guitar, so I'm not still trying to play that old sh*tty Gibson or Fender or whatever I got back when we lived over on first street.


Anyway, here goes:

Your Love (I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love Tonight) By
Sting and The Police / Outfield

Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
No one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Trying to stop my hands from shakin'
Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you leave me please would you close the door
and don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right - that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Yeah

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Tonight

And the Tabs/Chords:

Your Love
The Outfield

(Listen to the record to understand how the following lines
go with the music.)

              Lose your love.
              Lose your love.
Your love.
              Lose your love.

I don't wanna lose your love tonight.
              Lose your love.
Your love.                               (repeat and fade)
              Lose your love.

Perfect. Now I can rest easy at night now knowing that visitors to The Danger Chronicles won't be disappointed. Well, at least with the Outfield tabs and lyrics. The rest of the blog still sucks.
