Intro
C#m E B F#m
[Verse 1]
C#m E
I let it fall, my heart,
B F#m
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
C#m E
It was dark and I was over,
B Bsus4
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
[Verse 2]
C#m E
My hands they're strong,
B F#m
but my knees were far too weak,
C#m E
Stand in your arms
B Bsus4
without falling to your feet,
[Pre-chorus]
A F#m
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
C#m C#m
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
A B
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
C#m
But I set fire to the rain,
B
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
F#m
Well, it burned while I cried,
C#m B
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
[Verse 3]
C#m E
When I'm with you
B F#m
I could stay there,
C#m E
Close my eyes, feel you're here forever,
B Bsus4
You and me together, nothing is better
[Pre-chorus]
A F#m
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
C#m C#m
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
A B
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
C#m
But I set fire to the rain,
B
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
F#m
Well, it burned while I cried,
C#m B
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
C#m
I set fire to the rain
B
And I threw us into the flames
F#m
Where I felt something die,
A B
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
[Bridge]
A E/G#
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
G#m B
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you,
A E/G#
Even now when we're already over,
G#m B
I can't help myself from looking for you
[Chorus]
C#m
I set fire to the rain,
B
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
F#m
Well, it burned when I cried,
C#m B
Cause I heard it screaming your name, your name
C#m
I set fire to the rain,
B
And I threw us into the flames
F#m
Where I felt something die,
A B
Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh
[Outro]
C#m B F#m C#m B
Let it burn!
C#m B F#m A B
Let it burn!
