Josephine

Em  D  C  G

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

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

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

      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     Em  D   C   G
Oh my sweet, sweet Josephine

        Em   D   C

       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       Em  D   C
Oh my sweet, sweet Josephine

        Em  D   C
Oh Josephine
           Em  D   C
