Tom: Em
Em D C G
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Em D C
Oh Josephine
Em D C
Come back to me ,Josephine
Em D C
I'm beggin' you please
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
[Outro]
Em D C
Oh Josephine
Em D C
Sweet Josephine
