View chords used in this chart
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
