[Intro]
F  A#
 
[Verse 1]
F
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
 
Willow dancin' on air before covering me
A#
Under cotton and calicos
                             F
Over canopy dappled long ago
F
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
 
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
A#
Must be felled for to fight the cold
                          F
Fretted fire but that was long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
F                       Dm  A#  F
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                     Dm  A#  F
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
                    Dm  C   A#
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
A#
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm  A#  F
Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                        Dm  A#  F
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                    Dm  C   A#
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
A#
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
    F            A#         F           A#
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F           A#          F
But you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
 
[Instrumental]
F  A#
 
[Verse 2]
F
With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
 
Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
A#
Settled soft and as pure as snow
                                    F
I fell in love with the fire long ago
F
With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
 
Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
A#
I was fixed on your hand of gold
                                   F
Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
F                       Dm  A#  F
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                Dm  A#  F
I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
                      Dm  C   A#
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
A#
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
F                         Dm  A#  F
Oh, and it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                         Dm  A#  F
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                     Dm  C   A#
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
A#
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
    F           A#         F           A#
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F              A#          Dm           A#    Dm     Gm A#
Oh but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
 
[Verse 3]
F
So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain
 
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
A#
Long as amber of ember glows
                                        F
All the "would" that I'd loved is long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
F                    Dm  A#  F
And it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                     Dm  A#  F
Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
                      Dm  C   A#
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
A#
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm  A#  F
Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                         Dm  A#  F
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                     Dm  C   A#
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
A#
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
F           A#         F           A#
Oh, you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F                A#
Oh, but you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F   A#  F       A#          F      A#
Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F               A#          F
Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
