[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)

And the fire bright (Oh, oh)

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

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