Cover Me Up

D  G    D


[Verse 1]

               D                   
A heart on the run, keeps a hand on
   G                      D
 a gun, it can’t trust anyone
         D                      
I was so sure, what I needed was 
 G                            D
more, tried to shoot out the sun
                Bm                 
In 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 1]

   D                            G 
So girl leave your boots by the 
                        D
bed we ain’t leavin’ this room
     D                     G      
'Til someone needs medical help or
            D
 the magnolias bloom
     Em                       G   
It’s cold in this house and I 
                    Bm
ain’t goin’ 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                   
I sobered up, I swore off that 
 G                   D
stuff, forever this time
                   Bm              
And the old lovers sing "I thought 
         G                  D
it’d be me who helped him get home"
               D                   
But home was a dream, one I’d never
 G                    D
 seen, ‘til you came along


[Chorus 2]

   D                          G   
So girl hang your dress up to dry,
                       D
 we ain’t leavin’ this room
     D                        G   
'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide
                D
 and the river runs through*
Em                        G      
Carries this house on the stones 
                     Bm
like a piece of driftwood
         D                   G    
Cover me up and know you’re enough
               D
 to use me for good
