Would That I Chords by Hozier

Would That I Chords by Hozier

[Verse 1]
F
 True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
F
 Willow dancin' on air before covering me
Bb
 Under cotton and calicos
Bb
 Over canopy dapple long ago
F
F
 True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
F
 That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Bb
 Must be felled for to fight the cold
Bb
 I fretted fire, but that was long ago

F       F


[Chorus]
F                       Dm  Bb
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm   C
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
Bb
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm   C
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Bb
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
F                    Bb         F           Bb
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F                Bb              F
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)


[Verse 2]
F
 With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
F
 Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
Bb
 Settle soft and as pure as snow
Bb
 I Fell in love with the fire long ago

F
 With each love I cut lose, I was never the same
F
 Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
Bb
 I was fixed on your hand of gold
Bb
 Laying waste to my lovin' long ago

F    F


[Chorus]
F                       Dm  Bb
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm   C
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
Bb
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm   C
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Bb
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
F                    Bb         F           Bb
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F                Bb              F
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)


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

F     F
