A heart on the run keeps a hand [A] on the gun, you [E] can't trust anyone.
I was so sure what I [A] needed was more, tried to shoot [E] out the sun.
Days when we [C#m] raced, we flew [A] off the page, such damage [E] was done.
But I made it through, cause [A] somebody knew I was meant for [E] someone.
So girl leave your boots by [A] the bed, we ain't leaving [E] this room.
If someone needs medical [A] help or the [E] magnolias bloom.
It's
[F#m] cold in this house and [A] I ain't going out to [C#m] tap water.
[E] So cover me up, and know [A] you're not to use me [E] for good.
[A]
[E] Put your faith to the test, when I tore [A] off your dress in Richmond [E] on the high.
But I sobered up, I swore off that [A] stuff, forever this [E] time.
And the old [C#m] lover sang, I thought [A] it'd be me who helped him [E] get home.
But home was a dream, one I'd [A] never seen, till you came [E] along.
So girl hang yourself to [A] try, we ain't leaving [E] this room.
Percy Priest perhaps [A] opened wide and the river [E] runs through.
[F#m] It carries this house [A] on the stones like a piece of [C#m] driftwood.
So cover
[E] me up, and know [A] you're not to use [E] me for good.
