[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
Eb Bb Cm x2
[Chorus 3]
Eb Bb Cm
So come on now Josephine show yourself to me
Gm Eb Bb Cm
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
So come on now Josephine Show yourself to me
Bb Ab Bb Cm
Oh come on now Josephine Show yourself to me
Bb Ab Bb Cm
Oh come on now Josephine Show yourself to me
Bb Ab Bb Cm
Oh come on now Josephine Show yourself to me
