               D                      G                      D 
A heart on the run, keeps a hand on a 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
[Ritornello]
   D                            G                         D 
So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain’t leavin’ this room 
     D                     G                  D 
'Til 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

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’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
[Ritornello]
   D                          G                          D 
So girl hang your dress up to dry, we ain’t leavin’ 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’re enough to use me for good
