Standard (EADGBE)

I turned your life so upside down

I don't know how you stayed or why

Lookin' always over my shoulder

Exactly what I wanted to find

Was already mine

Josephine,

Josephine.

But I saw the horizon,

And I had to know where it all ends.

I lived so long with the shadows,

Lord I became one of them.

O what a fool I've been

O what a fool I've been

Josephine,

Josephine.

Now I take the hand I took for granted

And set it free

O what a fool I've been

O what a fool I've been

Josephine,

Josephine.

Some folks see the horizon

And never need to know how it all ends

Leave the shadows behind

Don't go chasin' after them

You lock the door and put them old records on

I hear you cryin' along

O what a fool I've been

O what a fool I've been

No more will the final words

Be the tears in your eyes

O how I tried

O, how I tried!

O, Josephine,

You are free.

O, Josephine

Josephine.
