D G
A heart on the run, keeps a hand on the gun,
D
it can’t trust anyone
D G
I was so sure, what I needed was more,
D
tried to shoot out the sun
Bm G
In days when we raged, we flew off the page,
D
such damage was done
D G
But I made it through, ‘cause somebody knew,
D
I was meant for someone
Chorus: D G
So girl leave your boots by the bed
D
we ain’t leavin’ this room
D G
Till someone needs medical help
D
or the magnolias bloom
Em
It’s cold in this house and
G Bm
I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood
D G
So cover me up and know you’re enough
D
to use me for good
D G
Put your faith to the test, when I tore off your dress,
D
in Richmond-on-high
D G
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff,
D
forever this time
Bm G
And the old lovers’ say, I thought it’d be me,
D
who helped him get home
D G
But home was a dream, one I’d never seen,
D
‘til you came along
Chorus: D G
So girl hang your dress up to dry,
D
we ain’t leavin’ this room
D G
Til the Percy Priest breaks open wide
D
and the river runs through
Em G
Carries this house on the stones
Bm
like a piece of driftwood
D G
Cover me up and know you’re enough
D
to use me for good

Chorus: D G

G Bm
I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood

So cover me up and know you’re enough

Cover me up and know you’re enough
