          Em    D      G 
Take me back Josephine 
        C               D 
To that cold and dark December 
        Em    D       G     C          D 
I am missing someone but I don?t know who 
        Em   D    G 
Now I?m standing alone 
        C            D 
And I?m trying to remember 
    Em       D     G     C 
Sometimes I wonder how I ever 
   D             G 
Started loving you 
 
 C       G             D 
Noontime wind can you blow 
        Em               C 
For me one more time and take me 
    G          D 
On back to the start 
          C        G 
Where the midnight moon 
             D 
Shines so bright 
        Em            C 
Nearly pulled us up to heaven 
       G               D 
By the strings of our hearts 
 
C       G             D 
Morning sun shine on me 
      Em               C 
Come light inside my window 
    G          D 
And rest on my brow 
C       G             D 
Kiss my eyes when I sleep 
     Em               C 
And carry me back home 
    G          D 
If my dreams will allow 
 
        Em    D      G 
Take me back Josephine 
        C               D 
To that cold and dark December 
        Em    D       G     C          D 
I am missing someone but I don?t know who 
        Em   D    G 
Now I?m standing alone 
        C            D 
And I?m trying to remember 
    Em       D     G     C 
Sometimes I wonder how I ever 
   D             G 
Started loving you 
 
         Em      D     G     C   D         G 
someone help me understand why I?m still loving you
