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

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