[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
Till 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-on-high
          D                        G                   D
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
                    Bm                       G                      D
And the old lovers’ say, 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
Til 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

D                     G                      D
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s bloom
     Em                       G                       Bm
It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood

The next step is that you have to use this song and its chords, not just to learn the song, but to also get better at playing guitar. You do this by practicing chord transitions in groups of 2. So, simply find the first 2 chords in this song which is D and G. Learn how to play the D chord, and learn how to play the G chord.

At that point, all you need to do is to make sure you are playing in time as a musician. So, whatever fast tempo you have set on your metronome when you practice playing the D chord for 4 beats, and then the G chord for 4 beats, make sure that left hand transitions faster and thinks ahead.
It’s one of those things that’s easier said than done, but when you keep things simple and to the point, you’ll find that you make progress much faster.
