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