[E]
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the [A] gun.
You can't [E] trust anyone.
I was so sure what I needed [A] was more.
Tried to shoot out [E] the sun.
Days when [C#m] we raced, we [A] fought the pain.
Such damage [E] was done, but I made it through.
Cause [A] somebody knew I was meant for [E] someone.
So go leave your boots by [A] the bed, we ain't leaving
[E] this room.
So someone leave [A]
[E] us alone, it's
[F#m] cold in this house [A] and I ain't going out [E] to [C#m] chop wood.
[E] Cover me up and know [A] you're enough to use me [E] for good.

[E]
Put your faith to the test when I tore [Am] off your dress in Richmond [E] on high.
But I sobered up, I swore off [A] that stuff forever [E] this time.
And the old lover [C#m] 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 your dress up [A] to dry, we ain't leaving [E] this room.
The Percy Priest for Axe [A] opened wide and the river [E] runs through.
[F#m]
Carries this house [A] on the stones like a piece of
[C#m] driftwood.
[E] Cover me up and know you're [A]
enough to use me [E] for good.
