Would That I Chords by Hozier

[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)
D                G           D
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  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, 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)
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
Hope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                G
Hope that you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D   G   D           G           D      G
Oh, oh, hope you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                G           D
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
