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