I'll Be Right Behind You, Josephine

[Intro] C  Em  C  Em

C                             Em
I'll be right behind you, Josephine
 C                              Em
I won't leave you waiting in between
   F                                        Am
And the cigarette you bummed from me is almost burning out
    F                                          G
You suck it till your fingers burn, then you throw it to the ground

 C                             Em
I'll be right behind you, Josephine
 C                          Em
Even after everything we've seen
        F                                    Am
In this sterile room with blinding lights and faces pointing down
  F                                     G
I only want to scream but still I just can't make a sound

     C                 E7
Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath
         Am                             F
There's nothing in this world we really own
          C                      E7
And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out
    Am                            F
The only thing I'd feel is less alone

(less alone)

 C                             Em
I'll be right behind you, Josephine
   C                              Em
I won't leave you waiting in this dream
          F                                         Am
While you watch the people speaking words you can't quite comprehend
 F                                         G
You ask me if I'd pinch you but my fingers wouldn't bend
 C                             Em
I'll be right behind you, Josephine
 C                               Em
Just like I was when we were seventeen
           F                                 Am
I guess that's only been a year but still it feels like 34
 F                                   G
I don't feel like I am living in the same skin anymore

     C                 E7
Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath
         Am                             F
There's nothing in this world we really own
          C                      E7
And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out
    Am                            F
The only thing I'd feel is less alone

(less alone)

C                              Em
I'll be right behind you, Josephine
C                          Em
Even when my soul's an amputee
         F                               Am
And my bleeding heart is sinking in the lake inside my chest
 F                                        G
So I grab what I can cling to and I leave behind the rest

     C                  E7
Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath
         Am                             F
There's nothing in this world we really own
          C                     E7
And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out
    Am                            F
The only thing I'd feel is less alone

     C                E7
Now hold my hand, and take my breath
     Am                                  F
And leave behind the things you'll never own
          C                      E7
And Jesus Christ, please tear my heart out
       Am                    F
I wanna feel a little less alone
     F
Less alone
