[Intro]
D G D
[Verse 1]
D G D
A heart on the run, keeps her 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 that 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 1]
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
[Verse 2]
D G D
Put your faith to the test, while 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 that I’d never seen, ‘til you came along
[Chorus 2]
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
So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
[Interlude]
D G D
D G D
[Chorus 1]
D G D
Girl leave your boots by the bed, we ain’t leavin’ this room
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
D G D
So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
[Outro]
N.C. G
So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me, for good
[Interlude]
D G D
A heart on the run keeps her hand on a gun
Can't trust anyone
I was so sure what I needed was more
Tried to shoot out the sun
And days that we raged, we flew off the page
Such damage was done
But I made it through 'cause somebody knew
I was meant for someone
So, girl, leave your boots by the bed
We ain't leavin' this room
'Til someone needs medical help
Or the magnolias bloom
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
Put your faith to the test while
I tore off your dress in Richmond on High
I sobered up, I swore off that stuff
Forever this time and the old lover's sing
"I thought it'd be me who
Helped him get home" but home was a dream
One that I'd never seen 'til you came along
So, girl, hang your dress up to dry
We ain't leavin' this room
'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide
And the river runs through
Carries this house on it's Stones
Like a piece of driftwood
And so cover me up and know you're
Enough to use me for good
So, girl, leave your boots by the bed
We ain't leavin' this room
'Til someone needs medical help
Or the magnolias bloom
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
So cover me up and know you're
Enough to use me for good
