[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

 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
