Jason Isbell
Difficulty: novice
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Capo: none
[Verse 1]
[E] [A]
A heart on the run, keeps a hand on a gun, it cant trust
[E]
anyone
[E] [A] [E]
I was so sure, what I needed was more, tried to shoot out the
sun
[C#m] [A]
In days when we raged, we flew off the page, such damage was
[E]
done
[E] [A]
But I made it through, cause somebody knew, I was meant for
[E]
someone
[Chorus]
[E] [A] [E]
So girl leave your boots by the bed we aint leavin this room
[E] [A] [E]
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
[F#m] [A] [C#m]
Its cold in this house and I aint going out to chop wood
[E] [A] [E]
So cover me up and know youre enough to use me for good
[Verse 2]
[E] [A]
Put your faith to the test, when I tore off your dress, in
[E]
Richmond all high
[E] [A] [E]
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
[C#m] [A]
In the old lovers scene, I thought itd be me, who helped him
[E]
get home
[E] [A]
But home was a dream, one that Id never seen, till you came
[E]
along
[Chorus] (x2)
[E] [A] [E]
So girl hang your dress up to dry we aint leavin this room
[E] [A] [E]
Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
[F#m] [A] [C#m]
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood
[E] [A] [E]
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
