To warn us it's only a matter of time

Before we all burn

A minorAm C majorC G+G
We bought some wine and some paper cups
D MajorD A minorAm
Near your daughters school when we picked her up

And drove to a cemetery on a hill

On a hill
A minorAm C majorC G+G

And there I knew it would be alright
D MajorD
That everything

Would be alright
A minorAm C majorC G+G em
Would be alright

BB C majorC
And the news reports on the radio
G+G A minorAm
Said it was getting worse

As the ocean air fanned the flames

Of anywhere I would of rather been

To watch it all burn away

And the firemen worked in double shifts

With prayers for rain on their lips
