I'm sure this isn't 100% correct, but it's how I play along acoustically with the album version.
I hope you enjoy the new album as much as I do.

Cm D#m A#
When the wind picked up, the fire spread
Gm Cm
And the grapevine scene left for dead
D#m A#
And the northern sky looked like the end of days
Gm
The end of days
Cm D#m A#
Your wake-up call to a rented room
Gm Cm
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
D#m A#
To warn us it's only a matter of time
Cm D#m A# Gm
Before we all burn................
Cm D#m A# Gm
Before we all burn................
Cm D#m A# Gm
Before we all burn................
Cm D#m A#
Before we all burn................

Cm D#m A#
We bought some wine and some paper cups
Gm Cm
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
D#m A# Gm
And drove to a cemetery on a hill, on a hill
Cm D#m A#
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
Gm Cm
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
D#m A#
And there I knew it would be all right
Gm
That everything
Cm D#m A# Gm
Would be all right...............
Cm D#m A# Gm
Would be all right...............
Cm D#m A# Gm
Would be all right...............
Cm D#m A#
Would be all right...............
Dm
And the news reports
D#m A# Cm
On the radio said it was getting worse
D#m Gm
As the ocean air fanned the flames
Dm
But I couldn't think
D#m A# Cm
Of anywhere I would've rather been
D#m Fadd9
To watch it all burn away
Cm D#m A# Gm
Burn away................
Cm D#m A# Gm
Ooooooooooohhhh..... (Repeated)
Cm D#m A#
And the firemen worked in double shifts
Gm Cm
With prayers for rain on their lips
D#m A#
And they knew it was only a matter of time
