[Verse 1]
  D*                                   G
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun
                    D
You can't trust anyone
  D*                            G
I was so sure what I needed was more
                       D
Tried to shoot out the sun
     D/C#     Bm                     G
Days when we raged, we flew off the page
                 D
Such damage was done
    D*                                 G
But I made it through, cause somebody knew
                   D
I was meant for someone
 
 
[Chorus]
     D                             G
(So) Girl, leave your boots by the bed
                      D
We ain't leaving this room
     D                     G
Till someone needs medical help
                   D
Or the magnolias bloom
     Em
It's cold in this house
         G                      Bm
And I ain't going out to chop wood
    D*                           G
So cover me up and know you're enough
                D
To use me for good

[Verse 2]
    D*                                           G
Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
                D
In Richmond on high
    D*                                  G
But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff
                D
Forever, this time
           D/C#    Bm
And the old lovers sing,
                   G                      D
"I thought it'd be me who helped him get home"
    D*                               G
But home was a dream, one I'd never seen
                D
Till you came along
 
 
[Chorus]
       D                          G
(So) girl, hang your dress up to dry
                       D
We ain't leaving this room
      D                         G
Till Percy Priest breaks open wide
                       D
And the river runs through
      Em                        G
(And) carries this house on the stones
                    Bm
Like a piece of driftwood
  D*                          G
Cover me up and know you're enough
                D
To use me for good

[Chorus]
 D                             G
Girl, leave your boots by the bed
                        D
We ain't leaving this room
     D                     G
Till someone needs medical help
                  D
Or the magnolias bloom
     Em
It's cold in this house
      G                       Bm
And I ain't going out to chop wood
    D*                           G
So cover me up and know you're enough
                D
To use me for good
  D*                           G
Cover me up and know you're enough
                D
To use me for good
