Verse 1:
                C                         F
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun

                    C
You can't trust anyone

          C                        F
I was so sure what I needed was more

                        C
Tried to shoot out the sun

              Am                        F
Days when we raged, we flew off the page

                 C
Such damage was done

               C                          F
But I made it through, 'cause somebody knew

                    C
I was meant for someone


Chorus 1:
    C                               F
So girl, leave your boots by the bed

                       C
We ain't leaving this room

      C                       F
Till someone needs medical help

                  C
Or the magnolias bloom

      Dm                          F                         Am
It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood

             C                    F
So cover me up and know you're enough

               C
To use me for good


C F C

Verse 2:
                       C                            F
Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress

                 C
In Richmond on high

               C                           F
But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff

               C
Forever this time

                     Am
And the old lover's sing

                      F                        C
“I thought it'd be me who helped him get home”

                C
But home was a dream

                F                   C
One I'd never seen till you came along


Chorus 2:
    C                             F
So girl, hang your dress up to dry

                       C
We ain't leaving this room

      C                          F
Till Percy Priest breaks open wide

                    C
And the river runs through

     Dm                           F
And carries this house on the stones

                      Am
Like a piece of driftwood

          C                      F
Cover me up and know you're enough

                C
To use me for good


C F C
Am F C

Chorus 1:
    C                               F
So girl, leave your boots by the bed

                       C
We ain't leaving this room

      C                       F
Till someone needs medical help

                  C
Or the magnolias bloom

      Dm                          F                         Am
It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood

             C                    F
So cover me up and know you're enough

               C
To use me for good
