• Difficulty: Intermediate

🤘 Verse 1:
Gm
Fifteen years from now
Dm
I know it feels remote
Eb       Bb
But picture it somehow
F
In your head
Gm
It's 1984
Dm
And knocking on your door
Eb        Bb
Is the Brownshirt Stasi guard
       F
Boom, you're gone
            Eb    Bb
And in the blood of the Kennedys
  F        Dm
The good ones get shot
            Eb    Bb
And in the absence of sympathies
      F
Won't you hear me out?

🤘 Chorus:
    Gm     Eb
When it all burns down
    Bb     F
When it all burns down

I will hold you close for the minute

Yeah, I'll hold you for the minute it takes

🤘 Verse 2:
Gm
Fifty-five years from now
Dm
I know it sounds insane
Eb         Bb      F
The dark fascist regime might be gone (Might be gone)
            Eb     Bb
Oh, if you by then havе forgiven me
   F       Dm
When push comеs to shove
            Eb    Bb
We don't have to be enemies
      F
Won't you hear me out?

    Gm     Eb
When it all burns down

When it all burns down

I will hold you close for the minute
    F
For the minute
    Gm
When it all burns down
     Csus4 C Ebm           Bb
And the flames devour everything that we are

I will hold you for the minute

I will hold you for the minute it takes
