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

[Eb]
So girl leave your boots by the [Ab] bed
We ain't leaving [Eb] this room

So [Eb]
cover me up
I know you're enough to use me for good
I know you're [Ab] enough to use me [Eb] for good
