Hozier - Would That I

[Intro]
C C
 
[Verse 1]
CTrue that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
 
Willow dancin' on air before covering me
CUnder garden and calicos
COver canopy dabbled long ago
CTrue that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
 
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
CMust be felt 'fore the fight, the call
CFriendly fire, but that was long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
C Bm C CBut that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm C CWhen I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
Bm G CAnd I blink inside (Oh, oh)
CYour blinding light (Oh, oh)
C Bm C COh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm C CWhen you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
Bm G CAll the fire bright (Oh, oh)
COh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
C C C COh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
C C CHope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
CWith the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet
 
Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
CFeel it soft and as pure as snow
CFell in love with the fire long ago
CWith each love I could lose, I was never the same
 
Watch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flame
CI was fixed on your hand of gold
CLay in waste of my lovin' long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
C Bm C CBut that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm C CWhen I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
Bm G CAnd I blink inside (Oh, oh)
CYour blinding light (Oh, oh)
C Bm C COh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm C CWhen you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
Bm G CAll the fire bright (Oh, oh)
COh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
C C C COh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
C C Bm C Bm Gm CHope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
 
[Verse 3]
CSo in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
 
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
CLong as amber of ember glows
CAll the wood that I'd loved is long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
C Bm C CBut that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm C CWhen I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
Bm G CAnd I blink inside (Oh, oh)
CYour blinding light (Oh, oh)
C Bm C COh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm C CWhen you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
Bm G CAll the fire bright (Oh, oh)
COh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
C C C CHope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh)
C CHope that you're good to me (Oh, oh)
C C C C C COh, oh, hope you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
C C CHope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
