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