Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "Would That I" dari Hozier:

[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 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]
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 inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D                                 Bm  G    D
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                                       Bm  G    D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                            Bm   A     G
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
       D                       G                D               G
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                        G                  D
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

[Instrumental]
D G

[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 could lose, I was never the same

Watch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flame
G
I was fixed on your hand of gold
                                                      D
Lay in waste of my lovin' 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 inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D                                 Bm  G   D
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                                       Bm  G    D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                            Bm  A    G
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
       D                       G                D                G
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                        G                  Bm               G       Bm      Em G
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]
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 inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D                                 Bm  G   D
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                                       Bm  G  D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                            Bm  A     G
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
D                 G                D                  G
Hope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                        G
Hope that you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D    G    D                 G                 D        G
Oh, oh, hope you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)

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