        C#              F7
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
      A#m          F#maj7         G#7
I was horrible and almost let him in
       C#                    F7
But I stopped and caught the wall
       A#m
And my mouth got dry
   F#maj7        G#7             C#
So all I did was take him for a spin

Yeah, we hopped inside my car
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
And he turned the headlights off
Then he pulled the bottle out
And then he showed me what is love

Chorus:
             F#maj7
I'll be your morning bright goodnight
shadow machine
             C#
I'll be your record player, baby, if
you know what I mean
             F#maj7
I'll be your real tough cookie with
the whiskey breath
          C#
I'll be a killer and a thriller and
the cause of our death

In the blossom of the months
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
So I swallowed all of it
As I realised there was no one who could
kiss away my shit

Chorus:
I'll be your morning bright goodnight
shadow machine
I'll be your record player baby if you
know what I mean
I'll be your real tough cookie with
 the whiskey breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller and
the cause of our death

Paul, I know you said that you'd
take me any way I came or went
But I'll push you from my brain
See, you're gentle, baby
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain

Chorus:
I was your starry-eyed lover and the one
that you saw
I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call
We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
And I've been burning for you baby since
the minute I left
