Verse 1:
Cm                         Eb                Bb
     When the wind picked up the fire spread
                      F                 Cm
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
                   Eb                            Bb
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
                Gm
The end of days

Cm                    Eb                Bb
     The wake up call to a rented room
                  F                      Cm
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
                Eb                     Bb
To warn us it's only a matter of time

Chorus:
              Cm        Eb       Bb       F
Before we all burn
              Cm        Eb       Bb       Gm
Before we all burn
              Cm        Eb       Bb       F
Before we all burn
              Cm        Eb       Bb
Before we all burn

Verse 2:
Cm                   Eb                       Bb
      We bought some wine and some paper cups
                     F                            Cm
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
               Eb              Bb
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
       Gm
On a hill
Cm                         Eb                    Bb
      And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
                   F                               Cm
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
             Eb                   Bb
And there I knew it would be alright
          F
That everything

Chorus:
           Cm         Eb        Bb        F
Would be alright
           Cm         Eb        Bb        Gm
Would be alright
           Cm         Eb        Bb        F
Would be alright
           Cm         Eb        Bb
Would be alright

Bridge:
D7                               Eb
     And the news reports on the radio
            Bb            Cm
Said it was getting worse
             Eb                 Gm
As the ocean air fanned the flames
D7
     But I couldn't think
   Eb                  Bb          Cm
Of anywhere I would've rather been
            Eb         F
To watch it all burn away

Chorus:
         Cm        Eb        Bb        F
To burn away

          The firemen worked in double shifts
                 F                Cm
With prayers for rain on their lips
                     Eb                Bb
And they knew it was only a matter of time...
