[Verse 1]
        Ebaug           D6
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                        D
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
       Ebaug                 D6
And he turned the headlights off
        Emadd9            C
Then he pulled the bottle out
            D                  G
And 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]
       Ebaug          D6
In the blossom of the months
      Emadd9            C               D
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
     Ebaug            D6
So I swallowed all of it
     Emadd9             C                D            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]
Ebaug             D6             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
            Em
See, you're gentle baby
C                    D              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
And I've been burning for you baby, since the minute I left
