[Verse 1]
Am                         C                 G
     When the wind picked up the fire spread
                      D                 Am
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
                   C                             G
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
                Em
The end of days
 
Am                    C                 G
     The wake up call to a rented room
                  D                      Am
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
                C                      G
To warn us it's only a matter of time
 
[Chorus]
              Am        C        G        D
Before we all burn
              Am        C        G        Em
Before we all burn
              Am        C        G        D
Before we all burn
              Am        C        G (hold G)
Before we all burn
 
[Verse 2]
Am                   C                        G
      We bought some wine and some paper cups
                     D                            Am
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
               C               G
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
       Em
On a hill
Am                         C                     G
      And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
                   D                               Am
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
             C                    G
And there I knew it would be alright
          D
That everything
 
[Chorus]
           Am         C         G         D
Would be alright
           Am         C         G         Em
Would be alright
           Am         C         G         D
Would be alright
           Am         C         G (hold G)
Would be alright
 
[Bridge]
B7                               C
     And the news reports on the radio
            G             Am
Said it was getting worse
             C                  Em
As the ocean air fanned the flames
B7
     But I couldn't think
   C                   G           Am
Of anywhere I would've rather been
            C          D
To watch it all burn away
 
[Chorus]
         Am        C         G         D
To burn away
Am        C          G         Em
Am        C          G         D
Am        C          G (hold G)
 
Am        C          G         D
Am        C          G         Em
Am        C          G         D
Am        C          G (hold G)
 
[Outro]
Am                      C                   G
          The firemen worked in double shifts
                 D                Am
With prayers for rain on their lips
                     C                 G (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time...

this is really good for the most part, but in the 2nd verse/chorus you institute a key change that shouldn't be there...it should keep along the same progressions until the bridge.

+11

i think he forgot to change it from when he copied the other guys tab

Also there's a C that should be a D the second time through the verse.
