Cover Me Up chords

Drop D Capo 1 (or tune down 1/2 step and play in Drop D)


               D                     G
A heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun
                  D 
It can't trust anyone
         D                      G
I was so sure what I needed was more
                       D
Tried to shoot out the sun
   D/C#         Bm                     G
In days when we raged, we flew off the page
                D
Such damage was done
              D                      G
But I made it through cause somebody knew
                    D
I was meant for someone


Chorus 1:
   D                            G                         D
So girl leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin this room
                           G                     D  

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



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


Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
In Richmond on high
I sobered up, I swore off that stuff
Forever this time
In the old lover's scene, I thought it'd be me
Who helped him get home
Home was a dream, one i'd never seen
Till you came along

Chorus 2:
So girl hang your dress up to dry we ain't leavin this room
Till Percy priest?? breaks open wide and the river runs through
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood
So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

Solo

Chorus 1

Cover me up and know your enough to use me for good
