 D (Riff 2)                            G                      D
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun you can't trust anyone
  D (Riff 2)                    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 (Riff 2)                        G                        D
But I made it through, cause somebody knew I was meant for someone

   D                             G                         D
So Girl, leave your boots by the bed we ain't leaving this room
     D                     G                     D
Till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
     Em                       G                       Bm
It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
    D (Riff 2)                 G                    D
So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

    D (Riff 2)                                  G                    D
Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress in Richmond on high
    D (Riff 2)                        G                   D
But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff forever, this time
                   Bm                      G                     D
And the old lovers sing, I thought it'd be me who helped him get home
    D (Riff 2)                      G                  D
But home was a dream, one I'd never seen till you came along

   D                           G                         D
So girl, hang your dress up to dry we ain't leaving this room
      D                       G                       D
Till Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
    Em                        G                          Bm
And carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood
  D (Riff 2)                G                    D
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
