Chords and lyrics for Cover Me Up by Jason Isbell (key of E).
Verse 1
Tuned down ½ step
Verse 1
A heart on the [E]run, keeps a hand on a [A]gun, it cant trust [E]anyone
I was so sure, [E]what I needed was [A]more, tried to shoot out [E]the sun
In days when we [C#m]raged, we flew off the [A]page, such damage was [E]done
But I made it [E]through, cause somebody[A] knew, I was meant for [E]someone
Chorus
So [E]girl leave your boots by the [A]bed we aint leavin this [E]room
Til [E]someone needs medical [A]help or the magnolias [E]bloom
Its [F#m]cold in this house and I [A]aint going out to chop [C#m]wood
So [E]cover me up and know youre [A]enough to use me for [E]good
Verse 2
Put your faith to the [E]test, when I tore off your [A]dress, in Richmond [E]all
high
I sobered [E]up, and I swore off that [A]stuff, forever this [E]time
In the old lovers [C#m]scene, I thought itd be [A]me, who helped him get [E]home
But home was a [E]dream, one that Id [A]never seen, till you came [E]along
[Chorus] (x2)
So [E]girl hang your dress up to [A]dry we aint leavin this [E]room
Til [E]Percy Priest breaks open [A]wide and the river runs [E]through
[F#m]Carries this house on the [A]stones like a piece of drift[C#m] wood
Cover me [E]up and know you're [A]enough to use me for [E]good
