To Cover You

The Choir

 Em        C      A
Set my guitar on fire,
        C            Em   C  A  C
With a long-stemmed match.
 Em             C
Dance while it burns,
     A             C       Em  C  A  C
And laugh when it turns to ash.
         Em          C       A        C
I would torch everything to keep you warm,
         Em     C       A           C
I would do anything to keep you from harm.

G          D
I would do anything,
A             C
To cover you body and soul, girl.
G            D                  A
I would give everything in the world,
          C  A          C
To cover you, to cover you.

Walk down a dark street,
Naked on a winter night.
Run from the law,
Like the Sunday I saw the light.
To defend your spirit I would go to war,
I would chase the devil to Jehovah's door.

I would do anything,
To cover you body and soul, girl.
I would give everything in the world,
To cover you.
I would do anything,
To wrap you up tight on a cold night.
I would give everything that I have,
To cover you, to cover you.
