Verse 1DGDA heart on the run, keeps a hand on the gun, it can’t trust anyone
DGD
I was so sure, what I needed was more, tried to shoot out the sun
BmGD
In days when we raged, we flew off the page, such damage was done
DGD
But I made it through, ‘cause somebody knew, I was meant for someone
Chorus 1DGD
So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain’t leavin’ this room
DGD
Someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s bloom
EmGBm
It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood
DGD
So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
Verse 2DGD
Put your faith to the test, when I tore off your dress, in Richmond all high
DGD
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
BmGD
In the old lovers’ scene, I thought it’d be me, who helped him get home
DGD
But home was a dream, one I’d never seen, ‘til you came along
Chorus 2DGD
So girl hang your dress up to dry, we ain’t leavin’ this room
DGD
Til the Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through*
EmGBm
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood
DGD
Cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
InterludeDGDDGDChorus 1DGD
So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain’t leavin’ this room
DGD
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s bloom
