Josephine

Em  D  C  G


[Verse 1]
     Em                  D      C
Her veins they run like tracks 
              G
all across her skin
     Em             D          
She used to be an angel, but she 
    C              G
traded that for sin
     Em                D       
And when she fell from grace she 
       C             G
fell far, she fell hard
     Em            D          
The holes in her soul match the 
   C            G
holes in her arms
     Em             D           C
She tells me she loves me, but 
               G
only when she's high
    Em              D             
I'd hate to see her go, but 
    C              G
couldn't leave her if I tried
     Em        D              C  
So I'll just stay here by her 
    G
side


[Verse 2]
    Em                   D         
And I'll hold you in my arms so 
C     G
damn tight
    Em            D             C
Wondering to myself, will we make
               G
 it another night?
       Em               D         
As you look up at the ceiling with
      C                G
 a cold stare in your eyes
  Em             D              C
I can see your fate, and I can 
                      G
see you're losing the fight

      Em   D     C    G
Oh my sweet Josephine
  Em      D             C       G
Oh how I wish that you could see
  Em                   D
How you're killin' yourself
           C                G
How your habits are hurtin' me
       Em      D         C    G 
Oh my sweet, sweet Josephine
    Em  D   C   G



[Verse 3]
   Em             D          
We had our whole lives to look 
     C       G
forward to
    Em                D       
But you threw it all away for a 
      C          G
needle and a spoon
    Em            D               
I know your stone will read "a 
    C        G       Em   D   C   G
girl gone too soon"
     Em              D            
We laid you in the ground today 
      C             G
with a calm upon your face
   Em                  D          
I kissed you one last time before 
     C               G
he laid you in your grave
 Em          D        C     
You were my girl, my girl that 
             G
slipped away


[Chorus]
      Em   D     C    G
Oh my sweet Josephine
  Em      D              C       G
Oh how I wish that you coulda seen
  Em                   D
How you were killin' yourself
           C                G
How your habits were hurtin' me
       Em      D         C    G 
Oh my sweet, sweet Josephine
    Em  D   C   G



[Verse 4]

       Em      D         C    G
Oh my sweet, sweet Josephine
   Em     D                  C
Oh how I wish you would have seen
                Em          D
That you were killin' yourself
           C                 G
Now your habits have killed me
       Em      D         C       
Oh my sweet, sweet Josephine
