Verse
F# A#7
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
Emadd9 B C#7
I was horrible and almost let him in
F# A#7
But I stopped and caught the wall
Emadd9 B C#7 F#
And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin
[Verse 2]
F# A#7
Yeah, we hopped inside my car
Emadd9 B C#7
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
F# A#7
And he turned the headlights off
Emadd9 B
Then he pulled the bottle out
C#7 F#
Then he showed me what was love
[Chorus]
B
I'll be your morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
F#
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
B
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
F#
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death
[Verse 3]
F# A#7
In the blossom of the months
Emadd9 B C#7
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
F# A#7
So I swallowed all of it
Emadd9 B C#7 F#
As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my shit
[Chorus]
B
I'll be your morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
F#
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
B
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
F#
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death
[Verse 4]
F# A#7 Emadd9 B C#7
Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went
F# A#7
But I'll push you from my brain
Emadd9
See, you're gentle baby
B C#7 F#
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain
[Chorus]
B
I was your starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw
F#
I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call
B
We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
F# C# F#
And I've been burning for you baby since the minute I left
