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