This is someone else's tab just in an easier fingering.
The song is in Eb so any variation will work, but C shapes are the easiest in my opinion.

[Verse 1]
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 (hold twice as long)
To warn us it's only a matter of time
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Am C G
We bought some wine and some paper cups
D Am
Near your daughters 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
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
C G
And there I knew it would be alright
D
That everything
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
B C
And the news reports on the radio
G Am
Said it was getting worse
C Em
As the ocean air fanned the flames
B
But I couldn't think
C G Am
Of anywhere I would of rather been
C D
To watch it all burn away
[Chorus]
Am C G D
To burn away
Am C G Em
Am C G D
Am C G (hold G)
Am C G D
Am C G Em
Am C G D
Am C G (hold G)
[Outro]
Am C G
And 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
