[Verse 1]
        G               B7  
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
Emadd9       C              D7
I was horrible and almost let him in
      G                      B7  
But I stopped and caught the wall
Emadd9           C             D7             G
And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin

[Verse 2]
         G                B7 
Yeah, we hopped inside my car
Emadd9           C                        D7
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
       G                     B7 
And he turned the headlights off
Emadd9            C
Then he pulled the bottle out
        D7                 G  
Then he showed me what is love

[Chorus]
             C                                       
I'll be your morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
             G                                         
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
             C                                        
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
          G                                               
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death

[Verse 3]
       G              B7    
In the blossom of the months
Emadd9            C               D7
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
     G                B7
So I swallowed all of it
Emadd9             C                D7           G
As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my shit

[Chorus]
             C                                       
I'll be your morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
             G                                         
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
             C                                        
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
          G                                               
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death

[Verse 4]
G               B7               Emadd9      C             D7
Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went
         G                B7   
But I'll push you from my brain
Emadd9
See, you're gentle baby
C                    D7             G   
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain

[Chorus]
           C                                         
I was your starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw
           G                                       
I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call
             C                                      
We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
              G                              D        G   
And I've been burning for you baby since the minute I left
