[Eb]
[Fm] [Abm]
[Eb]
A heart on the run keeps a hand on [Ab] the gun
You can't trust [Eb] anyone
I was so sure what I needed [Ab] was more
Tried to shoot out [Eb] the sun
Days when we [Cm] raised we flew [Eb] off [Ab] the page
Such [Eb] damage was done
But I made it through
Cause [Ab] somebody knew I was meant for [Eb] someone
So girl leave your boots by [Ab] the bed
We ain't leaving [Eb] this room
Someone needs medical [Ab] help or the magnolia
[Eb]
It's
[Fm] [Ab] cold in this house and I ain't going out [Eb] to [Cm] chop wood
So
[Eb] cover me up
I know [Ab] you're enough to use me [Eb] for good
[Ab]
[Eb]
Put your faith to the test
When I tore [Ab] off your dress in Richmond [Eb] on the night
I sobered up and I [Ab] swore off that stuff forever [Eb] this time
Your [Cm] lover said I thought it'd [Ab] be me who helped him [Eb] get home
But home was a dream, one [Ab] I'd never seen
Until you [Eb] came along
[Ebm] [Eb]
Girl hang your dress up [Ab] to dry
We ain't leaving [Eb] this room
Percy frees the bricks [Ab] open wide in the river
[Eb]
[Fm] Carries this [Ab] house on the stones like a piece [Bb] of [Cm] driftwood
Cover
[Eb] me up
I know you're [Ab] enough to use [Eb] me for good
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
So girl leave your boots by [Ab] the bed
We ain't leaving [Eb] this room
Someone needs medical [Ab] help or the magnolia
[Eb]
It's
[Fm] cold in this house and [Abm] I ain't going out to [Eb] chop [Cm] wood
So cover me [Eb] up
I know you're [Ab] enough to use me for [Eb] good
Cover me up
I know you're [Ab] enough to use me for [Eb] good
[Ab]
