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

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