	  Intro:  F 


Verse: 
 F                 Bb               F 
Josephine, I have seen you on the sidewalk 
          Bb                 F                 C 
Throwing troubles just like flowers to passers by 
 F                              Bb           F 
Don't weigh us down, though we have too many anchors 
          Bb             F             C 
And like you we want to sail into the sea 


 
Bb         F        C 
  I never had the chance to grow up 
      Bb        F           C 
Into what they wanted me to be 
Bb       F       C 
  Every rainbow has an end 
          Bb        F          C    
And it's where the colors are leaving

Verse: 
  F                   Bb              F 
Josephine, keep your sunlight in our windows 
        Bb              F              C 
We are rusted like the silos full of grain 
 F                Bb                   F 
Josephine, is it true that all state children 
         Bb             F              C 
Who will one day be forgotten by our names 



 
Bb         F        C 
  I never had the chance to grow up 
      Bb        F           C 
Into what they wanted me to be 
Bb       F       C 
  Every rainbow has an end 
          Bb        F      C 
And it's where the colors leaving

Verse: 
 F                 Bb            F 
Josephine, I was written in the skyline 
           Bb               F         C 
You must leave before your time oh oh oh 
 F                       Bb                  F 
Don't let us die for we need your hands to cling to 
   Bb             F               C 
A doorway we can walk through to heaven 


 
Bb         F        C 
  I never had the chance to grow up 
      Bb        F           C 
Into what they wanted me to be 
Bb       F       C 
  Every rainbow has an end 
          Bb        F      C 
And it's where the colors leaving
