Oh the last time I saw Paul 
      Em           C              D 
I was horrible and almost let him in 
      G                      B7 
But I stopped and caught the wall 
       Em               C             D              G 
And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin 

        G                B7 
Yeah we hopped inside my car 
      Em               C                        D 
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard 
       G                     D 
And he turned the headlights off 
        Em                C 
Then he pulled the bottle out 
        D                  G 
Then he showed me what was love 

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 

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

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 

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

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
