Chords and lyrics for Paul by Big Thief (key of G).
Verse 1
Emadd9 022002
Verse 1
Oh, the [G]last time I saw [B7]Paul
I was [Emadd9]horrible and [C]almost let him [D7]in
But I [G]stopped and caught the [B7]wall
And my [Emadd9]mouth got dry so [C]all I did was [D7]take him for a [G]spin
Verse 2
Yeah, we [G]hopped inside my [B7]car
And I [Emadd9]drove in circles [C]'round the freight train [D7]yard
And he [G]turned the headlights [B7]off
Then he [Emadd9]pulled the bottle [C]out
Then he [D7]showed me what is [G]love
Chorus
I'll be your [C]morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your [G]record player baby if you know what I mean
I'll be your [C]real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
I'll be a [G]killer and a thriller and the cause of our death
Verse 3
In the [G]blossom of the [B7]months
I was [Emadd9]sure that I'd get [C]driven off with [D7]thought
So I [G]swallowed all of [B7]it
As I [Emadd9]realized there was [C]no one who could [D7]kiss away my [G]shit
Chorus
I'll be your [C]morning bright, goodnight shadow machine
I'll be your [G]record player baby if you know what I mean
I'll be your [C]real tough cookie with the whiskey breath
I'll be a [G]killer and a thriller and the cause of our death
Verse 4
[G]Paul, I know you[B7] said that you'd [Emadd9]take me any [C]way I came or [D7]went
But I'll [G]push you from my [B7]brain
See, you're [Emadd9]gentle baby
[C]I couldn't stay, I'd [D7]only bring you [G]pain
Chorus
I was your [C]starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw
I was your [G]hurricane rider and the woman you'd call
We were just [C]two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
And I've been [G]burning for you baby since the [D]minute I [G]left
