Josephine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][Am][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
I heard the name [F]Josephine
It came to me [Am]in dream[Asus4][Am][G]
And [F]I don't usually set too much store by
the things that these thing[Am]s might mea[G]n
It was spoken with ser[F]iousness
More of a whisper than a
[Am]scream[Asus4][G]
Now, I'm waiting on this [F]Josephine
To show herself [Am]to m[G]e

[Verse 2]
Could have been [C]anyone
[G]I imagined, I could be[Am]
I just needed [C]some[G]body
To show me how [Am]to be
I could have been Napo[C]leon
Could have been Beeth[G]oven
Could have been any[Am]one,
but uncomfortable me
So come on now Josephine,
[C]sho[G]w yourse[Am]lf to me

[Verse 3]
[Am]So come on now J[F]osephine
give me what I [Am]need[Asus4][G]
I don't like [F]to be needy
but sometimes needs
Must, I can't [Am]stand be[Asus4]ing
[Am]the person that I've [G]been
I'm an impending car [F]crash
I'm the first one on [Am]the scene
[Asus4][Am][G]
I'm a de[F]feated commander
I'm a tone-deaf composer
composer
I'm [Am]a strange name
whispered in [G]a dream

[Verse 4]
Could have been [C]anyone
[G]I imagined, I could be[Am]
I just needed [C]some[G]body
To show me [Am]how to be
I could have been Napo[C]leon
Could have been Beeth[G]oven
Could have been [Am]any one,
but uncomfortable me
So come on now Josephine,
[C]sho[G]w yourself to me[Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]So come on now J[G]osephine
Let's [C]pretend it's Hal[F]loween
You come as a [G]car crash
[C]And I'll go as [F]James Dean
I'm Napoloeon on El[G]ba
And you're a hun[C]dred days [F]in 1815
I wrote all of these let[G]ters
to my immortal beloved
[Am]You're the only [C]one who's ever[F]
gonna know what they mean
[Em]Come on now Josephine

[Verse 6]
[C]
Show yourself [G]to [Am]me
Could have been [C]anyone
[G]But I ended up being me[Am]
Could have been run[C]away
Could have been [G]what you need
I wish that I was [Am]anyone except for just me
So come on now [F]Josephine[G]
Show yourself [Am]to me
Come on now [F]Josephine[G]
Show [Am]yourself to me
Come on now [F]Josephine[G]
Show [Am]yourself to me
Come on now [F]Josephine[G]
Show yourself [Am]to me

[Outro 1]
