[Verse 1]
G
 True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
                                        C
A willow dancing on air before covering me
 
Under cotton and calicoes
                          G
Over canopy dappled long ago
 
 G|-----7-5--5-7p5h---0---2--0h2p0-----|
 D|--------7-------7-----3---------3---|
Bb|-7--7----------------2-----------2--|
 F|-0------0----------0------0---------|
 
G
 True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
                                               C
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
 
Must be felled for to fight the cold
                                G
Fretted fire but that was long ago
 
 G|-----7-5--5-7p5h---0---2--0h2p0-----|
 D|--------7-------7-----3---------3---|
Bb|-7--7----------------2-----------2--|
 F|-0------0----------0------0---------|

[Chorus]
G                        Em  C
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  C
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  D
 And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
C
 Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  C
 Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
G                         Em  C
 Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
G                       Em  D
 Light the fire bright (Oh, oh)
C
 Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
G              C           G          C
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
G                   C           G
Oh, but that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
G
 With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
                                         C
Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
 
Settled soft and as pure as snow
                                   G
I fell in love with the fire long ago
 
 G|-----7-5--5-7p5h---0---2--0h2p0-----|
 D|--------7-------7-----3---------3---|
Bb|-7--7----------------2-----------2--|
 F|-0------0----------0------0---------|
 
G
 With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
                                               C
Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
 
I was fixed on your hand of gold
                                G
Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago
 
 G|-----7-5--5-7p5h---0---2--0h2p0-----|

 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  C
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  D
 And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
C
 Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  C
 And it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
G                         Em  C
 Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
G                       Em  D
 Light the fire bright (Oh, oh)
C
 Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
G              C           G          C
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
G              C           G
Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
G
 So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain
                                                  C
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
 
As long as amber of ember glows
                                        G
All the "would" that I'd loved is long ago

 And it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  C
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  D
 And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
C
 Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
G                      Em  C
 Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
G                         Em  C
 Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
G                       Em  D
 Light the fire bright (Oh, oh)
C
 Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
G              C           G          C
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
G              C
Oh, but you're good to me (Oh, oh)
G      C    G           C          G       C
 Oh-oh-oh, love, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
G              C           G
Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
