Intro
[D] [G]
Verse 1
[D]
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancin' on air before covering me
[G]
Under cotton and calicos
[D]
Over canopy dappled long ago
[D]
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
[G]
Must be felled for to fight the cold
[D]
Fretted fire but that was long ago
Chorus
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
[Bm] [G] [D]
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
[Bm] [A] [G]
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
[G]
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
[Bm] [G] [D]
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
[Bm] [A] [G]
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
[G]
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
[D] [G] [D]
But you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

Verse 2
[D]
With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
[G]
Settled soft and as pure as snow
[D]
I fell in love with the fire long ago
[D]
With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
[G]
I was fixed on your hand of gold
[D]
Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago
Chorus
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

[G]
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
Oh, and it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
[Bm] [G] [D]
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
[Bm] [A] [G]
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
[G]
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
[D] [G] [Bm] [G] [Bm] [Em] [G]
Oh but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
Verse 3
[D]
So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
[G]
Long as amber of ember glows
[D]
All the "would" that I'd loved is long ago
Chorus
