[Intro]
D G D
[Verse 1]
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
[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
[Interlude]
D G D
[Verse 2]
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, 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
[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 Cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
[Interlude]
