Verse
G# C7
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
Emadd9 C# D#7
I was horrible and almost let him in
G# C7
But I stopped and caught the wall
Emadd9 C# D#7 G#
And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin
[Verse 2]
G# C7
Yeah, we hopped inside my car
Emadd9 C# D#7
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
G# C7
And he turned the headlights off
Emadd9 C#
Then he pulled the bottle out
D#7 G#
Then he showed me what was 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# C7
In the blossom of the months
Emadd9 C# D#7
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
G# C7
So I swallowed all of it
Emadd9 C# D#7 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# C7 Emadd9 C# D#7
Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went
G# C7
But I'll push you from my brain
Emadd9
See, you're gentle baby
C# D#7 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
