[D] [G]
A [A] [D]
heart on a run keeps a hand on [G] a gun You can't [D] trust anyone
I was so sure that what I needed [G] was more Than tried to shoot out [D] the sun
Days when [Bm] we raged, we threw [G] off the page Such damage [D] was done
I made it through, cause somebody [G] knew That I was meant [D] for someone
Some girl leave your boots [G] by the bed We ain't deep in [D] this room
Someone needs medical [G] help Or the [D] magnolia's bloom
[Bm] It's cold in this house and [G] I ain't going out to [B] chop [D] wood
So cover me [A] up, I know you're [G] enough To use me [D] for good
Put your fate to the test When I tore off [G] your dress
At Richmond [D] on High
I sobered up, and I swore off [G] that stuff Forever [D] this time
And the old [Bm] lovers sing, I thought it'd [G] be me Who helped them [D] get home
But home was a dream, one that I'd [G] never seen Till you [A] came along
[D]
Some girl hang your dress [G] out to dry We ain't deep in [D] this room
Some Pharisee priest breaks [G] open wide And the river [D] runs through
[Bm] He carries this house on [G] his stones [Bm] Like a piece of [D] driftwood
So cover me up, I know [G] you're enough To use [D] me for good
So cover me up, I know [A] you're [G] enough [D] To use me for good
