Would That I
Hozier
AbTrue that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
AbWillow dancin' on air before covering me
DbUnder cotton and calicoes
DbOver canopy dappled long ago
Ab
AbTrue that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
AbThat the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
DbMust be felled for to fight the cold
DbI fretted fire, but that was long ago
Ab Ab
AbBut that's not tonight Fm(Oh, Dboh)
AbWhere I'm set alight Fm(Oh, Dboh)
AbAnd I blink in sight Fm(Oh, Eboh)
DbOf your blinding light (Oh, oh)
AbOh, that's not tonight Fm(OhDb, oh)
AbWhere you hold me tighFmt (DbOh, oh)
AbAll the fire bright (FmOh, Eboh)
DbOh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
AbOh, hope that you're Dbgood to me, Aboh, you're Dbgood to me (Oh, oh)
AbHope that you're Dbgood to me, baby Ab(Oh, oh)
AbWith the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
AbLike the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
DbSettled soft and as pure as snow
DbI fell in love with the fire long ago
AbWith each love I cut loose, I was never the same
AbWatching still living roots be consumed by the flame
DbI was fixed on your hand of gold
DbLaying waste to my lovin' long ago
Ab Ab
AbBut that's not tonight Fm(Oh, Dboh)
AbWhere I'm set alight Fm(Oh, Dboh)
AbAnd I blink in sight Fm(Oh, Eboh)
DbOf your blinding light (Oh, oh)
AbOh, that's not tonight Fm(OhDb, oh)
AbWhere you hold me tighFmt (DbOh, oh)
AbAll the fire bright (FmOh, Eboh)
DbOh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
AbOh, hope that you're Dbgood to me, Aboh, you're Dbgood to me (Oh, oh)
AbHope that you're Dbgood to me, baby Ab(Oh, oh)
AbSo in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
AbThough I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
DbLong as amber of ember glows
DbAll the "would that I loved" is long ago
Ab Ab
AbBut that's not tonight Fm(Oh, Dboh)
AbWhere I'm set alight Fm(Oh, Dboh)
AbAnd I blink in sight Fm(Oh, Eboh)
DbOf your blinding light (Oh, oh)
AbOh, that's not tonight Fm(OhDb, oh)
AbWhere you hold me tighFmt (DbOh, oh)
AbAll the fire bright (FmOh, Eboh)
DbOh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
AbOh, hope that you're Dbgood to me, Aboh, you're Dbgood to me (Oh, oh)
AbHope that you're Dbgood to me, baby Ab(Oh, oh)
AbOh, oh, you're Dbgood to me, Abyou're Dbgood to me (Oh, oh)
AbHope that you're Dbgood to me, Abbaby (Oh, oh)
