Emadd9 022002 [Verse 1]
        G               B7
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                        D7
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard

       G                     B7
And he turned the headlights off

        Emadd9            C
Then he pulled the bottle out

        D7                 G
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]
       G              B7
In the blossom of the months

      Emadd9            C               D7
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought

     G                B7
So I swallowed all of it

     Emadd9             C                D7           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               B7               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

            Emadd9
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 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
