Cover Me Up

(originally by Jason Isbell) [Verse 1] G Cmaj A heart on a run keeps a hand on a gun G Can't trust anyone G Cmaj I was so sure what I needed was more G Tried to shoot out the sun Em Cmaj The days when we raged, we flew off the page G Such damage was done G Cmaj But I made it through, 'cause somebody knew G I was meant for someone Chorus G Cmaj So, girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room G Cmaj 'Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom Em Cmaj G It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood G Cmaj G So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good [Verse 2] G Cmaj I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress G In Richmond on High G Cmaj I sobered up, I swore off that stuff G Forever this time Em And the old lover's sing Cmaj G “I thought it'd be me who helped him get home” G But home was a dream Cmaj G One that I'd never seen 'til you came along Chorus G Cmaj G So, girl, hang your dress out to dry, we ain't leavin' this room G Cmaj G 'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through Em Cmaj G And carries this house on its Stones like a piece of driftwood G Cmaj G So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good Chorus G Cmaj G So, girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room G Cmaj G 'Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom Em Cmaj G It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood G Cmaj G So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good Outro G Cmaj G So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
