G Josephina, there's so much I want to know Bm I've known you for all of mine Em But not all of yours Am You're not a stranger F No, nothing could be further Am I look back and I wonder F G F What you were like long before Josephina, if I asked you, would you tell me? The fact from the fancy And the dreams in between Tell me a story All about yours truly Photographs from the past Imagine the mystery F G C Am Did you get your head lost in a daydream? A# G Cinderella waiting for her charming F# B Did you break a heart like G# C# D little girls often do? D# F Pigtails and painted toes D# A# F E All dressed up in your mother's clothes Chorus: Am Can you shine the light? F Am Ah, can you shine the light? F G Am F Oh please, can you shine some light? G Am F Yeah, can you shine the light? D Em Shine the light on a shadow Josephina, would you lay down your defenses? So I can make sense of Those colors fading to grey It's not that you're hiding Something I'd never imply Yesteryear may be gone Can't say the same for today Yeah, Josephina Ah, Josephina How else am I to know that all the while There was a mischievous look behind that smile? It's hard to tell when innocence comes and goes I'm sure that there were times life could be unkind Without a shoulder to cry on Chorus: Can you shine the light? Ah, can you shine the light? Yeah please, can you shine some light? Yeah, can you shine the light? Yeah, can you shine the light?
