[Verse 1]
  D*                               
A heart on the run keeps a hand on 
    G                    D
the gun you can't trust anyone
  D*                            G 
I was so sure what I needed was 
                          D
more tried to shoot out the sun
     D/C#     Bm                  
Days when we raged, we flew off 
   G                    D
the page such damage was done
    D*                      
But I made it through, cause 
           G                 
somebody knew I was meant for 
     D
someone


[Chorus]
     D                             
(So) Girl, leave your boots by the 
G                         D
bed we ain't leaving this room
     D                     G      
Till someone needs medical help or
                D
 the magnolias bloom
     Em                       G   
It's cold in this house and I 
                    Bm
ain't going out to chop wood
    D*                        
So cover me up and know you're 
   G                   D
enough to use me for good

[Verse 2]
    D*                           
Put your faith to the test when I 
                G                  
tore off your dress in Richmond on 
  D
high
    D*                          
But I sobered up and I swore off 
        G                   D
that stuff forever, this time
           D/C#    Bm             
And the old lovers sing, "I 
          G                      D
thought it'd be me who helped him 
get home"
    D*                             
But home was a dream, one I'd never
  G                  D
 seen till you came along


[Chorus]
       D                          
(So) girl, hang your dress up to 
G                         D
dry we ain't leaving this room
      D                         G 
Till Percy Priest breaks open wide
                      D
 and the river runs through
      Em                       
(And) carries this house on the 
 G                          Bm
stones like a piece of driftwood
  D*                          G   
Cover me up and know you're enough
                D
 to use me for good


[Intro riff x 2]

[Chorus]
 D                             G  
Girl, leave your boots by the bed 
                       D
we ain't leaving this room
     D                     G      
Till someone needs medical help or
                D
 the magnolias bloom
     Em                       G   
It's cold in this house and I 
                    Bm
ain't going out to chop wood
    D*                        
So cover me up and know you're 
   G                   D
enough to use me for good
  D*                           G  
Cover me up and know you're enough
                 D
 to use me for good
