Josephine

	  		 
 

Bm         A           Em 
Josephine paces her room  
Bm         A          Em          F#m 
Josephine wishes the stars would appear 
 A                C#m        Em  
Breathless she'll run to her tryst  
       G#m           G 
On the brow of the hill 
         E 
If God will 
Bm        A           Em 
Josephine looks for a rose 
Bm         A          Em             F#m 
To perfume the tight angry curls of her hair 
A                C#m        Em 
He'll come this once, and maybe 
 G#m            G 
Again, but where 
      E 
Or when 
F                    D 
And the leaves blow in 
F                     D         F#m 
And the leaves blow into the hall 
Bm          A           Em 
Josephine dresses her wound 
Bm           A             Em           F#m 
One scent of blood and he might disappear 
 A             C#m        Em 
Or maybe he'll want to devour her 
G#m                G 
Whole and complete 
            E 
In a heart beat 
Bm          A           Em 
Josephine talks in her sleep 
Bm            A         Em              F#m 
More friends around her asleep than awake 
A        C#m        Em 
Cries desolation to phantoms 
  G#m           G 
But nobody hears 
            E 
A dream's tears 
F                   D 
And the leaves blow in 
F                  D             F#m 
And the leaves blow into the hall 
Bm          A           Em 
Josephine writes on the wall 
Bm             A             Em                  F#m 
Writes all the thoughts that escape from her head 
A               C#m        Em 
Hundreds and thousands of words 
         G#m           G 
Written small on a wall 
      E 
That's all
