[Verse 1]
D#aug D6(add11)
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
Em9 C D7
I was horrible and almost let him in
D#aug D6(add11)
But I stopped and caught the wall
Em9 C
And my mouth got dry, so all I did was
D7 G
Take him for a spin
B7
Yeah, we hopped inside my car
Em9 C D7
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
D#aug D6(add11)
And he turned the headlights off
Em9 C
Then he pulled the bottle out
D7 G
And then he showed me what is love
[Chorus 1]
C
I'll be your morning bright good night shadow machine
G
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
C
I'll be a real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
G
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the 'cause of our death
[Verse 2]
D#aug D6(add11)
In the blossom of the months
Em9 C D7
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
D#aug D6(add11)
So I swallowed all of it
Em9 C D7 G
As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my shit
[Chorus 2]
C
I'll be your morning bright good night shadow machine
G
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
C
I'll be a real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
G
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the 'cause of our death
[Break]

[Verse 3]
D#aug D6(add11)
Well Paul, I know you said
Em9 C D7
That you'd take me any way I came or went
G B7
But I'll push you from my brain
[ch]Dm6/9[/ch]
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 one that 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 moment I left
