Paul Ukulele chords by Big Thief

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
    B        Eb
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
   Abm     E       Gb
I was horrible and almost let him in
   B           Eb
But I stopped and caught the wall
    Abm       E       Gb       B
And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin

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

Chorus 1:
       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 2:
    B       Eb
In the blossom of the months
   Abm        E        Gb
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
   B        Eb
So I swallowed all of it
   Abm        E        Gb      B
As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my shit


Chorus 1:
       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


Instrumental:
B  Eb  Abm  E  Gb  B  Eb  Abm  E  Gb


Verse 3:
B        Eb       Abm     E       Gb
Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went
     B        Eb
But I'll push you from my brain
      Abm     E
See, you're gentle, baby
           Gb       B
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain


Chorus 2:
      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
And I've been burning for you baby since the minute I left
