Key:
Am C G When the wind picked up the fire spread
D Am And the grapevines seemed left for dead
C G And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
Em The end of days
Am C G The wake up call to a rented room
D Am Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
C G To warn us it's only a matter of time [Chorus]
Am C G D Before we all burn
Am C G Em Before we all burn
Am C G D Before we all burn Am C G (hold G) Before we all burn [Verse 2]
Am C G We bought some wine and some paper cups
Continues after the ad
D Am Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
C G And drove to a cemetery on a hill
Em On a hill
Am C G And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
D Am As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
C G And there I knew it would be alright
D That everything [Chorus]
Am C G D Would be alright
Am C G Em Would be alright
Am C G D Would be alright Am C G (hold G) Would be alright [Bridge]
B7 C And the news reports on the radio
G Am Said it was getting worse
C Em As the ocean air fanned the flames
B7 But I couldn't think
C G Am Of anywhere I would've rather been
C D To watch it all burn away [Chorus]
Am C G D To burn away
Am C G Em
Am C G D Am C G (hold G)
Am C G D
Am C G Em
Am C G D Am C G (hold G) [Other]
Am C G The firemen worked in double shifts
D Am With prayers for rain on their lips C G (fade) And they knew it was only a matter of time...
