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

[Verse 3]
B D# G#m E F#
Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went
B D#
But I'll push you from my brain
G#m E
See, you're gentle, baby
F# B
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain
[Chorus 2]
E
I was your starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw
B
I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call
E
We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
B
And I've been burning for you baby since the minute I left
B D#
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
G#m E F#
