a heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun you can't trust anyone

D................................................G.....................................D
i was so sure what i needed was more tried to shoot out the sun

.....................Bm..............................G.................................D
days when we raged we flew off the page such damage was done

D........................................................G......................................D
but i made it through cause somebody knew i was meant for someone


D........................................G.................................D
girl leave your boots by the bed we ain't leavin' this room

D........................................G................................D
till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom

it's cold in this house and i ain't going out to chop wood

D.............................................G.............................D
cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good


put your faith to the test when i tore off your dress in richmond on high
but i sobered up and i swore off that stuff forever this time
and the old lovers sing i thought it'd be me who helped him get home
but home was a dream one i'd never seen till you came along

girl hand your dress up to dry we ain't leavin' this room
till percy priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
and carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood
cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

girl leave your boots by the bed we ain't leavin' this room
till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
it's cold in this house and i ain't going out to chop wood
cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
