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
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
Before we all burn
Am C G
We bought some wine and some paper cups
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
Am C G D
Would be alright
Am C G Em
Would be alright
Am C G D
Would be alright
Am C G
Would be alright
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
Am C G D
To burn away
Am C G Em
Am C G D
Am C G
Am C G D
Am C G Em
Am C G D
Am C G
Am C G
The firemen worked in double shifts
D Am
With prayers for rain on their lips
C G
And they knew it was only a matter of time...
