DG
[Verse 1]
D
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancin' on air before covering me
G
Under garden and calicos
D
Over canopy dabbled 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 felt 'fore the fight, the call
D
Friendly fire, but that was long ago
[Chorus]
DBmGD
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
BmGD
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
BmAG
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
DBmGD
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
BmGD
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
BmAG
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
DGDG
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
DGD
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Instrumental]
DG
[Verse 2]
D
With the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet
Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
G
Feel it soft and as pure as snow
D
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]
DBmGD
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
BmGD
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
BmAG
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
DBmGD
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
BmGD
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
BmAG
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)

Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)

Hope that 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 wood that I'd loved is long ago
[Chorus]
