-Verse 1-
---------
Am C/G G
When the wind picked up the fire spread
Dsus4/F# Am
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
C/G G
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
Em
The end of days
Am C/G G
The wake-up call to a rented room
Dsus4/F# Am
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
C/G G (hold twice as long)
To warn us it's only a matter of time
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Am C/G G Dsus4/F#
Before we all burn
Am C/G G Em
Before we all burn
Am C G Dsus4/F#
Before we all burn
Am C/G G (hold G)
Before we all burn
---------
-Verse 2-
---------
Am C/G G
We bought some wine and some paper cups
Dsus4/F# Am
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
C/G G
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
Em
On a hill
Am C/G G
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
Dsus4/F# Am
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
C/G G
And there I knew it would be alright
Dsus4/F#
That everything
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Am C/G G Dsus4/F#
Would be alright
Am C/G G Em
Would be alright
Am C/G G Dsus4/F#
Would be alright
Am C/G G (hold G)
Would be alright
--------
-Bridge-
--------
B C
And the news reports on the radio
G Am
Said it was getting worse
C Em
As the ocean air fanned the flames
B
But I couldn't think
C G Am
Of anywhere I would of rather been
C Dsus4/F#
To watch it all burn away
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Am C/G G Dsus4/F#
To burn away
Am C/G G Em
Am C/G G D
Am C/G G (hold G)
Am C/G G Dsus4/F#
Am C/G G Em
Am C/G G Dsus4/F#
Am C/G G (hold G)
-------
-Outro-
-------
Am C/G G
And the firemen worked in double shifts
Dsus4/F# Am
With prayers for rain on their lips
C/G G (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time
G =3x0033
D =200230
