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
