[Verse 1]
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                                                 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
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

[Verse 2]
D                                                 G                                 D
Put your faith to the test, when I tore off your dress, in Richmond all high
D                                 G                                                 D
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
Bm                                                 G                                                 D
In the old lovers’ scene, 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 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
