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

Let it burn,
