Morgan Wallen - 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
