-Verse 1-
---------
Am                        C/G                 G
     When the wind picked up the fire spread
                      [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]          Am
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
                   C/G                           G
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
                Em
The end of days


Am                    C/G                G
     The wake-up call to a rented room
                   [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]               Am
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
                C/G                     G (hold twice as long)
To warn us it's only a matter of time

--------
-Chorus-
--------
              Am        C/G      G        [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Before we all burn
              Am        C/G      G        Em
Before we all burn
              Am        C        G        [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Before we all burn
              Am        C/G      G (hold G)
Before we all burn

---------
-Verse 2-
---------
Am                   C/G                       G
      We bought some wine and some paper cups
              [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]                            Am
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
               C/G             G
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
       Em
On a hill
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/death_cab_for_cutie/grapevine_fires_crd_ver_5.html ]
Am                         C/G                   G
      And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
                 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]                             Am
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
             C/G                  G
And there I knew it would be alright
          [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
That everything

--------
-Chorus-
--------
           Am         C/G       G         [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Would be alright
           Am         C/G       G         Em
Would be alright
           Am         C/G       G         [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Would be alright
           Am         C/G       G (hold G)
Would be alright

--------
-Bridge-
--------
B                               C
     And the news reports on the radio
            G             Am
Said it was getting worse
             C                  Em
As the ocean air fanned the flames
B
     But I couldn't think
   C                   G           Am
Of anywhere I would of rather been
            C          [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
To watch it all burn away


--------
-Chorus-
--------
         Am        C/G        G         [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
To burn away
Am        C/G        G         Em
Am        C/G        G         D
Am        C/G        G (hold G)

Am        C/G        G         [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Am        C/G        G         Em
Am        C/G        G         [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Am        C/G        G (hold G)

-------
-Outro-
-------
Am                      C/G                  G
      And the firemen worked in double shifts
            [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]                Am
With prayers for rain on their lips
                     C/G               G (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time
