Bm                         D                 A
     When the wind picked up the fire spread
                      E                 Bm
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
                   D                             A
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
                F#m
The end of days
Bm                    D                 A
     The wake-up call to a rented room
                  E                      Bm
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
                D                      A
To warn us it's only a matter of time

[Chorus]
              Bm        D        A        E
Before we all burn
              Bm        D        A        Fm
Before we all burn
              Bm        D        A        E
Before we all burn
              Bm        D        A (hold A)
Before we all burn

[Verse 2]
Bm                   D                        A
      We bought some wine and some paper cups
                    E                            Bm
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
               D               A
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
       F#m
On a hill
Bm                         D                     A
      And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
                    E                               Bm
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
             D                    A
And there I knew it would be alright
          E
That everything

[Chorus]
           Bm         D         A         E
Would be alright
           Bm         D         A         Fm
Would be alright
           Bm         D         A         E
Would be alright
           Bm         D         A (hold A)
Would be alright

[Bridge]
C#                               D
     And the news reports on the radio
            A             Bm
Said it was getting worse
             D                  F#m
As the ocean air fanned the flames
C#
     But I couldn't think
   D                   A           Bm
Of anywhere I would of rather been
            D          E
To watch it all burn away

[Instrumental]
         Bm        D         A         E
To burn away
Bm        D          A         F#m
Bm        D          A         E
Bm        D          A (hold A)
Bm        D          A         E
Bm        D          A         F#m
Bm        D          A         E
Bm        D          A (hold A)

[Outro]
Bm                      D                   A
      And the firemen worked in double shifts
                 E                Bm
With prayers for rain on their lips
                     D                 A (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time
