Cover Me Up

[Primera Parte]

                D                  
A heart on the run, keeps a hand on
    G                      D
 the 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

   D                            G 
So girl leave your boots by the 
                        D
bed we ain’t leavin’ this room
D                          G     
Till someone needs medical help 
                D
or 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

[Segunda Parte]
                      D            
Put your faith to the test, when I 
              G
tore off your dress, in
           D
Richmond-on-high
         D                         
I sobered up, and I swore off that 
G                   D
stuff, forever this time
                   Bm              
And the old lovers’ say, I thought 
          G
it’d be me, who helped him get
  D
Home
               D                   
But home was a dream, one I’d never
 G                    D
 seen, ‘til you came along

   D                          G   
So girl hang your dress up to dry,
                       D
 we ain’t leavin’ this room
    D                         G
Til the Percy Priest breaks open 
                       D
wide 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

Til someone needs medical help or
            D
 the magnolia’s bloom
    Em                        G   
It’s cold in this house and I
