[Intro]
D  G
[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
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)

[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
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)
[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
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) 
                     Bm  A   G 
And the fire bright (Oh, oh) 
G 
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh) 
D           G          D           G 
Oh, you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)

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