Cover Me Up

[Primeira Parte]

                D                      G                      D
A heart on the run, keeps a hand on the gun, it 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
In days when we raged, we flew off the page, such damage was done
              D                        G
But I made it through, ‘cause somebody knew, I was meant for
    D
Someone

   D                            G                         D
So 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
    Em                        G                      Bm
It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood
            D                   G                   D
So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good


[Segunda Parte]
                      D                          G
Put your faith to the test, when I tore off your dress, in
           D
Richmond-on-high
         D                         G                   D
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
                   Bm                        G
And the old lovers’ say, I thought it’d be me, who helped him get
  D
Home
               D                    G                    D
But home was a dream, one I’d never seen, ‘til you came along

   D                          G                          D
So girl hang your dress up to dry, we ain’t leavin’ this room
    D                         G                       D
Til the Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
Em                       G                            Bm
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood
        D                    G                   D
Cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good

D                     G                      D
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s bloom
    Em                        G                       Bm
It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood
