D G A heart on the run, keeps a hand on the gun, D it can’t trust anyone D G I was so sure, what I needed was more, D tried to shoot out the sun Bm G In days when we raged, we flew off the page, D such damage was done D G But I made it through, ‘cause somebody knew, D I was meant for someone Chorus: D G So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain’t D leavin’ this room D G Till someone needs medical help or the magnolias D bloom Em G It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out Bm to chop wood D G So cover me up and know you’re enough D to use me for good I put your faith to the test when 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 Chorus: So, girl, hang your dress out to dry, we ain't leavin' this room 'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through And carries this house on its Stones like a piece of driftwood 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D Em G Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
