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)

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 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)

Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
            Bm G  D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)

All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
