                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
