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 But I made it through, 'cause somebody knew, I was meant for D Someone 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 D G Put your faith to the test, when I tore off your dress, in D Richmond-on-high D G D I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time Bm G And the old lovers' say, I thought it'd be me, who helped him get D Home D G D But home was a dream, one I'd never seen, 'til you came along 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 D G D 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 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 D G D Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good D G D
