[Verse]
Cm D# A#
When the wind picked up the fire spread
F Cm
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
D# A#
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
Gm
The end of days
[Verse]
Cm D# A#
The wake-up call to a rented room
F Cm
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
D# A#
To warn us it's only a matter of time
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# F
Before we all burn
Cm D# A# Gm
Before we all burn
Cm D# A# F
Before we all burn
Cm D# A#~
Before we all burn
[Verse]
Cm D# A#
We bought some wine and some paper cups
F Cm
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
D# A#
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
Gm
On a hill
[Verse]
Cm D# A#
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
F Cm
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
D# A#
And there I knew it would be alright
F
That everything
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# F
Would be alright
Cm D# A# Gm
Would be alright
Cm D# A# F
Would be alright
Cm D# A#~
Would be alright
[Bridge]
D~ D#~
And the news reports on the radio
A#~ Cm~
Said it was getting worse
D#~ Gm~
As the ocean air fanned the flames
D~
But I couldn't think
D#~ A#~ Cm~
Of anywhere I would of rather been
D#~ F~
To watch it all burn away
[Interlude]
Cm D# A# F
To burn away

[Outro]
Cm~ D#~ A#~
And the firemen worked in double shifts
F~ Cm~
With prayers for rain on their lips
D#~ A#~
And they knew it was only a matter of time
