Intro
Em G D Am
[Verse 1]
Em G
I let it fall, my heart,
D Am
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
Em G
It was dark and I was over,
D Dsus4
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
[Verse 2]
Em G
My hands they're strong,
D Am
but my knees were far too weak,
Em G
Stand in your arms
D Dsus4
without falling to your feet,
[Pre-chorus]
C Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Em Em
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
C D
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Em
But I set fire to the rain,
D
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Am
Well, it burned while I cried,
Em D
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
[Verse 3]
Em G
When I'm with you
D Am
I could stay there,
Em G
Close my eyes, feel you're here forever,
D Dsus4
You and me together, nothing is better
[Pre-chorus]
C Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Em Em
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
C D
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Em
But I set fire to the rain,
D
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Am
Well, it burned while I cried,
Em D
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Em
I set fire to the rain
D
And I threw us into the flames
Am
Where I felt something die,
C D
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
[Bridge]
C G/B
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
Bm D
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you,
C G/B
Even now when we're already over,
Bm D
I can't help myself from looking for you
[Chorus]
Em
I set fire to the rain,
D
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
Am
Well, it burned when I cried,
Em D
Cause I heard it screaming your name, your name
Em
I set fire to the rain,
D
And I threw us into the flames
Am
Where I felt something die,
C D
Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh
[Outro]
Em D Am Em D
Let it burn!
Em D Am C D
Let it burn!
