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