[E]
[A]
[B] [E]
[A] [B]
[E]
A heart on the run keeps a hand [A] on a gun
You can't trust [E] anyone
I was so sure what I needed [A] was more
Tried to shoot [E] out the sun
Days when [C#m] we raged we flew [A] off the page
Such damage [E] was done
But I made it through
Cause somebody [A] knew I was meant [E] for someone
So girl leave your boots [A] by the bed
We ain't leaving [E]
this room
Cause someone needs medical [A]
help or the mad know [E] you
[F#m] It's cold in this house [E] and [A] I ain't going to [C#m] chop wood
So [E] cover me up
And know you're [A] not to use [E] me for good
[A]
[E]
You put your faith to the test
When I tore off [A] your dress in Richmond on [E]
high
I sobered up
I swore off [A] that stuff forever [E] this time
And your lover [C#m]
said I thought [E] it'd [A] be me
Who helped him [E] get home
But home was a dream
One I'd never [A]
seen
Till you came [E] along
So girl hang your dress [A] to dry
We ain't leaving [E]
this
Your Percy Priest for eggs [A] open wide
And a [E] river runs through
[F#m] He carries this hat [A] on the stones like a piece of [C#m]
driftwood
Cover [E] me up
And know [A] you're not to use me [E] for good
[A] [E]
Girl
[B] [E]
[A] [E]
leave [A]
your boots by the bed
We ain't [E] leaving this room
Cause someone needs medical [A] help or the mad [E]
[F#m] know you
It's cold in this house [A]
[C#m] and I ain't going to chop wood
So [E] cover me up
And know you're [A] not to [E] use me for good
Cover me up
And know [A] you're not to use [E] me for good
[A]
[C#m] [E]
Thank you
