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

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