---------
-Verse 1-
---------
[Am] When the wind picked [C/G]up the fire spread[G]
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] Am
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
And the Northern sk[C/G]y looked like the end of days[G]
The end of days[Em]
[Am] The wake-up call [C/G]to a rented room[G]
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] Am
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
C/G G (hold twice as long)
To warn us it's only a matter of time
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Am C/G G [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
Before we all burn
Before we all [Am]burn[C/G] [G] [Em]
Am C G [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
Before we all burn
Am C/G G (hold G)
Before we all burn
---------
-Verse 2-
---------
[Am] We bought some [C/G]wine and some paper cups[G]
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] Am
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
And drove to a [C/G]cemetery on a hi[G]ll
On a hi[Em]ll
[Am] And we watched the pl[C/G]umes paint the sky gra[G]y
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] Am
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
And there I k[C/G]new it would be alrig[G]ht
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
That everything
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Am C/G G [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
Would be alright
Would be al[Am]right[C/G] [G] [Em]
Am C/G G [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
Would be alright
Am C/G G (hold G)
Would be alright
--------
-Bridge-
--------
[B] And the news reports on the[C] radio
Said it was [G]getting worse[Am]
As the ocean [C]air fanned the flam[Em]es
[B] But I couldn't think
Of [C]anywhere I would of [G]rather been[Am]
C [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
To watch it all burn away
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Am C/G G [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
To burn away
[Am] [C/G] [G] [Em]
[Am]Am [C/G]C/G [G]G (hold G)[D]
Am C/G G [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
[Am]Am [C/G]C/G [G]G [Em] [cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb]
Am C/G G (hold G)
-------
-Outro-
-------
[Am] And the firemen wo[C/G]rked in double shifts[G]
[cb]Dsus4/F#[/cb] Am
With prayers for rain on their lips
C/G G (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time
