Grapevine Fires Tab

by Death Cab For Cutie


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.

When the wind picked up, the fire spread      
                                    
And the grapevine scene left for dead    
                                               
And the northern sky looked like the end of days    
                
The end of days    

                               
Your wake-up call to a rented room     
                                      
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom    
                              
To warn us it's only a matter of time
                         
Before we all burn................
                         
Before we all burn................
                         
Before we all burn................
                      
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
                              
And there I knew it would be all right
          
That everything
                        
Would be all right...............
                        
Would be all right...............
                        
Would be all right...............
                     
Would be all right...............


And the news reports
                                  
On the radio said it was getting worse
                         
As the ocean air fanned the flames

But I couldn't think
                              
Of anywhere I would've rather been
                    
To watch it all burn away
                
Burn away................

           
Ooooooooooohhhh..... (Repeated)

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