When the wind picked up the fire spread
Gm Cm
And the grapevine scene left for dead
Ebm Bb
And the northern sky looked like the end of days
Gm
The end of days
Cm Ebm Bb
Your wake-up call to a rented room
Gm Cm
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
Ebm Bb
To warn us it's only a matter of time
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Before we all burn
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Before we all burn
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Before we all burn
Cm Ebm Bb
Before we all burn
Cm Ebm Bb
We bought some wine and some paper cups
Gm Cm
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
Ebm Bb Gm
And drove to a cemetery on a hill on a hill
Cm Ebm Bb
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
Gm Cm
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
Ebm Bb
And there I knew it would be all right
Gm
That everything
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Would be all right
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Would be all right
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Would be all right
Cm Ebm Bb
Would be all right
Dm
And the news reports
Ebm Bb Cm
On the radio said it was getting worse
Ebm Gm
As the ocean air fanned the flames
Dm
But I couldn't think
Ebm Bb Cm
Of anywhere I would've rather been
Ebm Fadd9
To watch it all burn away
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Burn away
Cm Ebm Bb Gm
Ooooooooooohhhh..... (Repeated)
Cm Ebm Bb
And the firemen worked in double shifts
Gm Cm
With prayers for rain on their lips
Ebm Bb
And they knew it was only a matter of time
