Josephine

Eb Bb Cm

[Verse 1]
               Ab          Bb
I heard the name Josephine
                  Cm      Bb
It came to me in a dream
      Ab                         Bb
And I don't usually set too much store by the things
      Cm               Bb
These things might mean
                      Ab            Bb
But it was spoken with seriousness,
                        Cm      Bb
More of a whisper than a scream.
                          Ab         Bb
So now I'm waiting on some Josephine
               Cm     Bb
To show herself to me

[Chorus 1]
                 Eb     Bb          Cm
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
  Gm          Eb      Bb                 Cm
I just needed somebody To wake me from my sleep
  Gm              Eb                         Bb
I could have been Napoleon, could have been Beethoven
               Cm
Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
   Gm         Eb        Bb           Cm
So come on now Josephine Show yourself to me

[Verse 2]
          Ab        Bb              Cm    Bb
Come on now Josephine Give me what I need
       Ab                       Bb
I don't like to be needy but needs must
        Cm                              Bb
I can't stand being the person that I've been
                Ab        Bb
I'm an impending car crash
                              Cm      Bb
And you're the first one on the scene.
        Ab                      Bb
I'm a defeated commander, I'm a half-deaf composer
      Cm                          Bb
I'm a strange name whispered in a dream

[Chorus 2]
                 Eb     Bb          Cm
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
  Gm          Eb      Bb                 Cm
I just needed somebody To wake me from my sleep
  Gm              Eb                             Bb
I could have been Napoleon, I could have been Beethoven
                  Cm
I Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
   Gm         Eb        Bb           Cm
So come on now Josephine Show yourself to me

[Bridge]
           Bb        Eb                      Ab
Come on now Josephine Let's pretend it's Halloween
            Bb         Eb              Ab
You come as a car crash, I'll go as James Dean.
                Bb                        Eb      Ab
I'm Napoleon on Elba And you're a hundred days in 1815
                     Bb                      Eb
I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
                               Ab
And you're the only one who's ever going to know what they mean

So come on now Josephine show yourself to me

I could have been anyone But I ended up being me
 Gm              Eb                          Bb
I could have been wide awake, Could have been what you need
                  Cm
I wish that I was anyone except for just me
             Ab        Bb            Cm
