COVER ME UP - JASON ISBELL, FROM SOUTHEASTERN
INTRO: OVER VERSE LINES 1 & 2
VERSE 1:
D G D
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun, it can't trust anyone
D G D
I was so sure what I needed was more tried to shoot out the sun
Bm G D
In days when we raged we flew off the page such damage was done
D G D
But I made it through cause somebody knew I was meant for someone
CHORUS 1:
D G D
So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain't leavin this room
D G D
'less 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

VERSE 2:
D G D
Put your faith to the test, when I tore off your dress, in Richmond all high
D G D
I sobered up and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
Bm G D
In the old lovers scene, I thought it'd be me, who helped him get home
D G D
But home was a dream, one I'd never seen til you came along
CHORUS 2:
D G D
So girl hang your dress up to dry we ain't leavin this room
D G D
The Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
Em G Bm
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood
D G D
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
SOLO: OVER FULL VERSE
REPEAT CHORUS 1
TAG:
D G D
Cover me up and know you re enough to use me for good
