Full Song
Verse 1
C Am
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun
F G
You can’t trust anyone
C Am
I was so sure what I needed was more
F G
Tried to shoot out the sun
Chorus
F G Am
So girl, leave your boots by the bed
F G
We ain’t leaving this room
F G Am
Till someone needs medical help
F G
Or the magnolias bloom
F G Am F G
It’s cold in this house and I ain’t going out to chop wood
C Am F G C
So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
How to Play
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Learn the chords
This song uses 4 chords in the key of C: C Am F G. Get each shape clean on its own first.
2
Practice the changes
Switch slowly between the two hardest chords in a loop until the move feels automatic — no strumming yet.
3
Add the strumming
Bring in a simple down-strum once the changes are smooth, then build up to the song’s rhythm.
4
Play along
Play with the original track to lock in the timing and feel.
Tip: The F barre chord is the tricky one — use Fmaj7 (skip the low E and A strings) while you build finger strength.
