[Strophe]
               D                       G                      D 
A heart on the run, keeps a hand on the gun, it 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 
In 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
[Refrain]
   D                            G                         D 
So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain’t leavin’ 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 goin’ out to chop wood 
            D                   G                   D 
So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
[Strophe]
                      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, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time 
                    Bm                       G                      D 
And the old lovers’ say, I thought it’d be me, who helped him get home 
               D                    G                    D 
But home was a dream, one I’d never seen, ‘til you came along
[Refrain]
   D                          G                          D 
So girl hang your dress up to dry, we ain’t leavin’ this room 
    D                         G                       D 
Til the 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’re enough to use me for good

D                     G                      D 
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s bloom 
     Em                       G                       Bm 
It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood

So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
