Verse 1:
        B               Eb7
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
      Abm           E              Gb7
I was horrible and almost let him in
      B                      Eb7
But I stopped and caught the wall
       Abm               E             Gb7             B
And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin
 
Verse 2:
         B                Eb7
Yeah, we hopped inside my car
      Abm               E                        Gb7
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
       B                     Eb7
And he turned the headlights off
        Abm                E
Then he pulled the bottle out
        Gb7                 B
Then he showed me what was love
 
Chorus:
             E
I'll be your morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
             B
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
             E
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
          B
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death
 
Verse 3:
       B              Eb7
In the blossom of the months
      Abm                E               Gb7
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
     B                Eb7
So I swallowed all of it
     Abm                 E                Gb7           B
As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my xxxx
 
Chorus:
             E
I'll be your morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
             B
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
             E
I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
          B
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the cause of our death
 
Verse 4:
B               Eb7               Abm          E             Gb7
Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went
         B                Eb7
But I'll push you from my brain
            Abm    
See, you're gentle baby
E                    Gb7             B
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain
 
Chorus:
           E
I was your starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw
           B
I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call
             E
We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
              B                              Gb        B
And I've been burning for you baby since the minute I left
