G B7 Oh the last time I saw Paul Em C D I was horrible and almost let him in G B7 But I stopped and caught the wall Em C D G And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin G B7 Yeah we hopped inside my car Em C D And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard G D And he turned the headlights off Em C Then he pulled the bottle out D G Then he showed me what was love 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 G B7 In the blossom of the months Em C D I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought G B7 So I swallowed all of it Em C D G As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my shit 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 G B7 Em C D Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went G D But I'll push you from my brain Em See, you're gentle baby C D G I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain 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
