Verse 1:
        AbAb     Bb majorBb
I heard the name Josephine
         C minorCm   Bb majorBb
It came to me in a dream
   AbAb             Bb majorBb
And I don't usually set too much store by the things
   C minorCm        Bb majorBb
These things might mean
           AbAb      Bb majorBb
But it was spoken with seriousness,
            C minorCm   Bb majorBb
More of a whisper than a scream.
             AbAb     Bb majorBb
So now I'm waiting on some Josephine
        C minorCm   Bb majorBb
To show herself to me

Chorus 1:
         Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb     C minorCm
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
 G minorGm     Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb         C minorCm
I just needed somebody To wake me from my sleep
 G minorGm       Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
I could have been Napoleon, could have been Beethoven
        C minorCm
Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
  G minorGm     Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb      C minorCm
So come on now Josephine Show yourself to me

Verse 2:
     AbAb    Bb majorBb       C minorCm  Bb majorBb
Come on now Josephine Give me what I need
    AbAb            Bb majorBb
I don't like to be needy but needs must
    C minorCm               Bb majorBb
I can't stand being the person that I've been
        AbAb    Bb majorBb
I'm an impending car crash
               C minorCm   Bb majorBb
And you're the first one on the scene.
    AbAb           Bb majorBb
I'm a defeated commander, I'm a half-deaf composer
   C minorCm             Bb majorBb
I'm a strange name whispered in a dream

Chorus 2:
         Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb     C minorCm
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
 G minorGm     Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb         C minorCm
I just needed somebody To wake me from my sleep
 G minorGm       Eb MajorEb               Bb majorBb
I could have been Napoleon, I could have been Beethoven
         C minorCm
I Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
  G minorGm     Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb      C minorCm
So come on now Josephine Show yourself to me

Come on now Josephine Let's pretend it's Halloween
      Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb       AbAb
You come as a car crash, I'll go as James Dean.
        Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb   AbAb
I'm Napoleon on Elba And you're a hundred days in 1815
           Bb majorBb           Eb MajorEb
I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
                AbAb
And you're the only one who's ever going to know what they mean
