Death Cab for Cutie - Grapevine Fires: chords

Cm                   D#             A#
When the wind picked up the fire spread
                    F               Cm
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
                  D#                           A#
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
              G
The end of days

Cm            D#              A#
The wake up call to a rented room
                  F                 Cm
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
                D#                A#
To warn us it's only a matter of time

Chorus:
              Cm  D# A# F
Before we all burn
              Cm  D# A# Gm
Before we all burn
              Cm  D# A# F
Before we all burn
              Cm D# A#
Before we all burn

We bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
On a hill

And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
As she laughed and danced through
the field of graves
There, I knew it would be alright
That everything

Chorus

         D7                  D#
And the news reports on the radio
            A#           Cm
Said it was getting worse
             D#               Gm
As the ocean air fanned the flames
D7
But I couldn't think
   D#                   A#        Cm
Of anywhere I would've rather been
            D#         F
To watch it all burn away

Burn
Burn

The firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers for rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time
