A D*heart on the run keeps a hand on the Ggun you can't trust aDnyone
I D*was so sure what I needed was Gmore tried to shoot out the Dsun
(C#/Db) Bm G D
Days when we raged, we flew off the page such damage was done
But D*I made it through, cause somebody kGnew I was meant for somDeone
(So) DGirl, leave your boots by the Gbed we ain't leaving this Droom
Till Dsomeone needs medical Ghelp or the magnolias bDloom
It's Emcold in this house and I Gain't going out to chop Bmwood
So cD*over me up and know you're enGough to use me for gDood
Intro riff
Put D*your faith to the test when I tore off your dGress in Richmond on hDigh
But D*I sobered up and I swore off that stGuff forever, this tiDme
(C#/Db) Bm G D
And the old lovers sing, "I thought it'd be me who helped him get home"
But D*home was a dream, one I'd never sGeen till you came aDlong
(So) giDrl, hang your dress up to dGry we ain't leaving this rDoom
Till PDercy Priest breaks open wiGde and the river runs thDrough
(And) Emcarries this house on the Gstones like a piece of drifBmtwood
CoD*ver me up and know you're enGough to use me for gDood

Intro riff
D
How I play it:
The intro riff I play while fretting a "D" chord and using my pinky and index finger to
play the hammer on.
The (C#/Db) chord is basically just the "A" string at the 4th fret added to the "D"
chord. It's not strummed, just play the bass note.
Chords used:
D - 000232
Em - 222000
G - 550030
Bm - x24432
D* = D chord riff, follows vocal melody
(C#/Db) = x4x232
