[Intro]
C F C
[Verse 1]
C F
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun
C
You can't trust anyone
C F
I was so sure what I needed was more
C
Tried to shoot out the sun
Am F
Days when we raged, we flew off the page
C
Such damage was done
C F
But I made it through, 'cause somebody knew
C
I was meant for someone
[Chorus 1]
C F
So girl, leave your boots by the bed
C
We ain't leaving this room
C F
Till someone needs medical help
C
Or the magnolias bloom
Dm F Am
It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
C F
So cover me up and know you're enough
C
To use me for good
C F C
[Verse 2]
C F
Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
C
In Richmond on high
C F
But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff
C
Forever this time
Am
And the old lover's sing
F C
“I thought it'd be me who helped him get home”
C
But home was a dream
F C
One I'd never seen till you came along
[Chorus 2]
C F
So girl, hang your dress up to dry
C
We ain't leaving this room
C F
Till Percy Priest breaks open wide
C
And the river runs through
Dm F
And carries this house on the stones
Am
Like a piece of driftwood
C F
Cover me up and know you're enough
C
To use me for good
C F C
Am F C
[Chorus 1]
C F
So girl, leave your boots by the bed
C
We ain't leaving this room
C F
Till someone needs medical help
C
Or the magnolias bloom
Dm F Am
It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
C F
So cover me up and know you're enough
C
To use me for good
