Intro
Am C G Dm
[Verse 1]
Am C
I let it fall, my heart,
G Dm
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
Am C
It was dark and I was over,
G Gsus4
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
[Verse 2]
Am C
My hands they're strong,
G Dm
but my knees were far too weak,
Am C
Stand in your arms
G Gsus4
without falling to your feet,
[Pre-chorus]
F Dm
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Am Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
F G
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Am
But I set fire to the rain,
G
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Dm
Well, it burned while I cried,
Am G
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
[Verse 3]
Am C
When I'm with you
G Dm
I could stay there,
Am C
Close my eyes, feel you're here forever,
G Gsus4
You and me together, nothing is better
[Pre-chorus]
F Dm
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Am Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
F G
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Am
But I set fire to the rain,
G
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Dm
Well, it burned while I cried,
Am G
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Am
I set fire to the rain
G
And I threw us into the flames
Dm
Where I felt something die,
F G
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
[Bridge]
F C/E
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
Em G
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you,
F C/E
Even now when we're already over,
Em G
I can't help myself from looking for you
[Chorus]
Am
I set fire to the rain,
G
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
Dm
Well, it burned when I cried,
Am G
Cause I heard it screaming your name, your name
Am
I set fire to the rain,
G
And I threw us into the flames
Dm
Where I felt something die,
F G
Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh
[Outro]
Am G Dm Am G
Let it burn!
Am G Dm F G
Let it burn!
