Intro
Bm D A Em
[Verse 1]
Bm D
I let it fall, my heart,
A Em
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
Bm D
It was dark and I was over,
A Asus4
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
[Verse 2]
Bm D
My hands they're strong,
A Em
but my knees were far too weak,
Bm D
Stand in your arms
A Asus4
without falling to your feet,
[Pre-chorus]
G Em
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Bm Bm
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
G A
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Bm
But I set fire to the rain,
A
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Em
Well, it burned while I cried,
Bm A
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
[Verse 3]
Bm D
When I'm with you
A Em
I could stay there,
Bm D
Close my eyes, feel you're here forever,
A Asus4
You and me together, nothing is better
[Pre-chorus]
G Em
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Bm Bm
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
G A
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Bm
But I set fire to the rain,
A
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Em
Well, it burned while I cried,
Bm A
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Bm
I set fire to the rain
A
And I threw us into the flames
Em
Where I felt something die,
G A
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
[Bridge]
G D/F#
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
F#m A
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you,
G D/F#
Even now when we're already over,
F#m A
I can't help myself from looking for you
[Chorus]
Bm
I set fire to the rain,
A
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
Em
Well, it burned when I cried,
Bm A
Cause I heard it screaming your name, your name
Bm
I set fire to the rain,
A
And I threw us into the flames
Em
Where I felt something die,
G A
Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh
[Outro]
Bm A Em Bm A
Let it burn!
Bm A Em G A
Let it burn!
