[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)

[Instrumental]

D  G

[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)

                Bm  G   D

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, 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]

D                    Bm  G   D

And it's not tonight (Oh, oh)

                     Bm  G   D

Where 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

Where 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, you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
