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


CHORUS:
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

Bb F C   Bb F C


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



CHORUS:
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

Bb F C   Bb F C


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


CHORUS:
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
