Verse 1
A heart on the [D] run, keeps a hand on the [G] gun, it can’t trust [D] anyone
I was so sure, [D] what I needed was [G] more, tried to shoot out the [D] sun
In days when we [Bm] raged, we flew off the [G] page, such damage was [D] done
But I made it [D] through, ‘cause somebody [G] knew, I was meant for [D] someone
Chorus 1
So [D] girl leave your boots by the [G] bed we ain’t leavin’ this [D] room
[D] Someone needs medical [G] help or the magnolia’s [D] bloom
It’s [Em] cold in this house and I [G] ain’t goin’ out to chop [Bm] wood
So cover me [D] up and know you’re [G] enough to use me for [D] good
Verse 2
Put your faith to the [D] test, when I tore off your [G] dress, in Richmond all [D] high
I sobered [D] up, and I swore off that [G] stuff, forever this [D] time
In the old lovers’ [Bm] scene, I thought it’d be [G] me, who helped him get [D] home
But home was a [D] dream, one I’d never [G] seen, ‘til you came [D] along
Chorus 2
So [D] girl hang your dress up to [G] dry, we ain’t leavin’ this [D] room
Til [D] the Percy Priest breaks [G] open wide and the river [D] runs through*
[Em] Carries this house on the [G] stones like a piece of [Bm] driftwood
Cover me [D] up and know you’re [G] enough to use me for [D] good
Interlude
[D] [G] [D] [D] [G] [D]
Chorus 1
So [D] girl leave your boots by the [G] bed we ain’t leavin’ this [D] room
[D] Til someone needs [G] medical help or the [D] magnolia’s bloom
It’s [Em] cold in this house and I [G] ain’t goin’ out to chop [Bm] wood
So cover me [D] up and know you’re [G] enough to use me for [D] good
Cover me [D] up and know you’re [G] enough to use me for [D] good
Interlude
[D] [G] [D]
