-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-
I could have been anyone
Am(G0h2)
I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody
Am(G0h2)
To show me how to be
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
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-
I could have been anyone
Am(G0h2)
I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody
Am(G0h2)
To show me how to be
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
C G(2) Am(G0h2)
So come on now Josephine show me how to be
-BRIDGE-
So come on now Josephine
Let's pretend it's Halloween
You come as a car crash
And I'll go as James Dean
I'm Napoloeon on Elba
And you're a hundred days in 1815
I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
You're the only one who's ever gonna know what they mean
-OUTRO-
Come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
Could have been anyone
Am(G0h2)
But I ended up being me
Could have been --- ---
Could have been what you need
I wish that I was anyone except for just me
So come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
Come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
Come on now Josephine
Am(G0h2)
Show yourself to me
Come on now Josephine
Am~
Show yourself to me
