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