Death Cab for Cutie – Grapevine Fires (Guitar)

Am                         C                 G
     When the wind picked up the fire spread

                      D                 Am
And the grapevines seemed left for dead

                   C                             G
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days

                Em
The end of days

Am                    C                 G
     The wake up call to a rented room

                  D                      Am
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom

                C                      G
To warn us it's only a matter of time

              Am        C        G        D
Before we all burn

              Am        C        G        Em
Before we all burn

              Am        C        G        D
Before we all burn

              Am        C        G (hold G)
Before we all burn

Am                   C                        G
      We bought some wine and some paper cups

                     D                            Am
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up

               C               G
And drove to a cemetery on a hill

       Em
On a hill

Am                         C                     G
      And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray

                   D                               Am
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves

             C                    G
And there I knew it would be alright

          D
That everything

           Am         C         G         D
Would be alright

           Am         C         G         Em
Would be alright

           Am         C         G         D
Would be alright

           Am         C         G (hold G)
Would be alright

B7                               C
     And the news reports on the radio

            G             Am
Said it was getting worse

             C                  Em
As the ocean air fanned the flames

B7
     But I couldn't think

   C                   G           Am
Of anywhere I would've rather been

            C          D
To watch it all burn away

         Am        C         G         D
To burn away

Am                      C                   G
          The firemen worked in double shifts

                 D                Am
With prayers for rain on their lips

                     C                 G (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time...
