[Verse 1]
  D                                    G5
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun
                      D
You can't trust anyone
D                                   G5
I was so sure what I needed was more
                       D
Tried to shoot out the sun
D            Bm                         G5
Days when we raged, we flew off the page
                    D
Such damage was done
    D
But I made it through,
                G5
'cause somebody knew
                       D
I was meant for someone

[Chorus]
   D                             G5
So girl, leave your boots by the bed
                      D
We ain't leaving this room
     D                         G5
Till someone needs medical help
                 D
Or the magnolias bloom
     Em7                           G5                  Bm
It's cold in this house and I ain't  going out to chop wood
            D                        G5
So cover me up and know you're enough
                  D
To use me for good

[Verse 2]
D G5
D         D                                           G5
 Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
               D
In Richmond on high
    D                                 G5
But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff
                 D
Forever this time
        Em7         Bm
And the old lover's sing
                    D  G5               D
“I thought it'd be me  who helped him get home”
    D
But home was a dream
                  G5
One I'd never seen  till you came along

[Chorus]
D   D                           G5
 So girl, hang your dress up to dry
                          D
We ain't leaving this room
D D                                 G5
  Till Percy Priest breaks open wide
                          D
And the river runs through
D    Em7               G6/F#             G5
 And carries this house     on the stones
                     Bm
Like a piece of driftwood
D               G5
Cover me up and know you're enough
                  D
To use me for good

[Chorus]
   D                             G5
So girl, leave your boots by the bed
                      D
We ain't leaving this room
D     D                         G5
 Till someone needs medical help
                D
Or the magnolias bloom
D     Em7                      G6                          Bm
 It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
   D                                 G5
So cover me up and know you're enough
              D
To use me for good
D                           G5
Cover me up and know you're enough
              D
To use me for good
D G5 D
