     When the wind picked up
                      Bb                                 F
the fire spread and the grapevines seemed left for dead.
Cm                             Eb
     And the northern sky looked like the end of days,
Bb                              Gm
     the end of days.
Cm                   Eb
     A wake up call to a rancid room
Bb                              F
     Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
Cm                         Eb                        Bb
     To warn us it's only a matter of time.

Before we all burn

Cm                              Eb
      We bought some wine and some paper cups
Bb                                       F
      near your daughter's school when we picked her up
Cm                            Eb
      and drove to a cemetery on a hill
Bb           Gm
      on a hill.
Cm                                    Eb
      And we watched the plumes paint the sky grey
Bb                                        F
      and she laughed and danced through the field of graves
Cm                                                  Eb
      And there I knew it would be alright
Bb                     F
      that everything

Would be alright

Would be alright

Would be alright
                  Cm   Eb   Bb
Would be alright

Brigde:
D7                                                Eb
     And the news reports on the radio
                    Bb
said it was getting worse
Cm                      Eb                    Gm
     As the ocean air found the flames
D7                                       Eb                                                  Bb
     But I couldn't think of anywhere I would have rather been

     To watch it all burn away
                Cm    Eb   Bb   F
To burn away.

Bb                              F
     with prayers for rain on their lips
Cm                                   Eb                        Bb
     And they knew it was only a matter of time.
