Would That I
Hozier
FTrue that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
FWillow dancin' on air before covering me
BUnder cotton and calicoes
BOver canopy dappled long ago
F
FTrue that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
FThat the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
BMust be felled for to fight the cold
BI fretted fire, but that was long ago
F F
FBut that's not tonight Dm(Oh, Boh)
FWhere I'm set alight Dm(Oh, Boh)
FAnd I blink in sight Dm(Oh, Coh)
BOf your blinding light (Oh, oh)
FOh, that's not tonight Dm(OhB, oh)
FWhere you hold me tighDmt (BOh, oh)
FAll the fire bright (DmOh, Coh)
BOh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
FOh, hope that you're Bgood to me, Foh, you're Bgood to me (Oh, oh)
FHope that you're Bgood to me, baby F(Oh, oh)
FWith the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
FLike the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
BSettled soft and as pure as snow
BI fell in love with the fire long ago
FWith each love I cut loose, I was never the same
FWatching still living roots be consumed by the flame
BI was fixed on your hand of gold
BLaying waste to my lovin' long ago
F F
FBut that's not tonight Dm(Oh, Boh)
FWhere I'm set alight Dm(Oh, Boh)
FAnd I blink in sight Dm(Oh, Coh)
BOf your blinding light (Oh, oh)
FOh, that's not tonight Dm(OhB, oh)
FWhere you hold me tighDmt (BOh, oh)
FAll the fire bright (DmOh, Coh)
BOh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
FOh, hope that you're Bgood to me, Foh, you're Bgood to me (Oh, oh)
FHope that you're Bgood to me, baby F(Oh, oh)
FSo in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
FThough I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
BLong as amber of ember glows
BAll the "would that I loved" is long ago
