[Verse]
F6(pm)
I heard the name Josephine
Asus4(pm) G5(pm)
It came to me in a dream
F6(pm) Asus4(pm) G5(pm)
And I don't usually set too much store by the things that these things might mean
F6(pm)
It was spoken with seriousness
Asus4(pm) G5(pm)
More of a whisper than a scream
F6(pm)
Now, I'm waiting on this Josephine
Asus4(pm) G(3) XXX
To show herself to me
[Chorus]
C G(2)
I could have been anyone
Am(G0h2)
I imagined I could be
C G
I just needed somebody
Am(G0h2)
To show me how to be
C
I could have been Napoleon
G
Could have been Beethoven
Am
Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
C G(2) Am(G0h2)
So come on now Josephine show yourself to me
[Verse]
F6(pm) Asus4(pm) G5(pm)
So come on now Josephine give me what I need
F6(pm)
I don't like to be needy but sometimes needs ---
Asus4(pm) G5(pm)
I can't stand being the person that I've been
F6(pm)
I'm an impending car crash
Asus4(pm) G5(pm)
And I'm the first one on the scene
F6(pm)
I'm a defeated commander, I'm a tone-deaf composer
Asus4(pm) G(3) XXX
I'm a strange name whispered in a dream
[Chorus]
C G(2)
I could have been anyone
Am(G0h2)
I imagined I could be
C G(2)
I just needed somebody
Am(G0h2)
To show me how to be
C
I could have been Napoleon
G
Could have been Beethoven
Am
Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
C G(2) Am(G0h2)
So come on now Josephine show me how to be
[Bridge]
G C
So come on now Josephine
F
Let's pretend it's Halloween
G C
You come as a car crash
F
And I'll go as James Dean
G
I'm Napoloeon on Elba
C F
And you're a hundred days in 1815
G C
I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
F F.
You're the only one who's ever gonna know what they mean
[Outro]
C G(2)
Come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
C G(2)
Could have been anyone
Am(G0h2)
But I ended up being me
C
Could have been wide awake
G
Could have been what you need
Am
I wish that I was anyone except for just me
F G(2)
So come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
F G(2)
Come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
F G(2)
Come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
F G(2)
Come on now Josephine
Am~
Show yourself to me
