             G  Am C        D             G   Am       C   D
When you're here    every thought I ever had becomes clear,
                 G Am C          D            G  Am       C
but when you're far    the only light I ever see is the stars.

And when you go, the feelings burn as they grow,
'cause to me, to me you're beautiful.

Chorus:
             G        Bm          C
When you're here Josephine, the stars don't shine so bright.
               G      Bm           C
But yeah with me Josephine, you'd never sleep at night.
                 G        Bm          C
Now when you're here Josephine, the stars don't shine so bright.
               G      Bm                         C
But yeah with me Josephine you'd never sleep at night.
              G Am C   D      G   Am   C  D
But when you go     I never sleep as I do.

But when you go I never sleep as I do
And in my dreams
I hold you like I never will release

Chorus:
But when you're here Josephine, the stars don't shine so bright
But yeah with me, Josephine, you'd never sleep at night
But yeah with me, Josephine, you'd never sleep at night
My Josephine

                Em C D                    Em  C D
I'm dreaming of you,  are you dreaming it too?
                Em C D                          G
I'm dreaming of you,  I scream your name, Josephine.

My Josephine

Chorus:
When you're here Josephine the stars don't shine so bright
But yeah with me, Josephine, you'd never sleep at night
But yeah with me, Josephine, you'd never sleep at night
My Josephine

I'm dreaming of you
Are you dreaming it too
I'm dreaming of you
I scream your name
