Intro
Gm A# F Cm
[Verse 1]
Gm A#
I let it fall, my heart,
F Cm
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
Gm A#
It was dark and I was over,
F Fsus4
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
[Verse 2]
Gm A#
My hands they're strong,
F Cm
but my knees were far too weak,
Gm A#
Stand in your arms
F Fsus4
without falling to your feet,
[Pre-chorus]
Eb Cm
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Gm Gm
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
Eb F
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Gm
But I set fire to the rain,
F
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Cm
Well, it burned while I cried,
Gm F
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
[Verse 3]
Gm A#
When I'm with you
F Cm
I could stay there,
Gm A#
Close my eyes, feel you're here forever,
F Fsus4
You and me together, nothing is better
[Pre-chorus]
Eb Cm
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Gm Gm
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
Eb F
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.
[Chorus]
Gm
But I set fire to the rain,
F
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Cm
Well, it burned while I cried,
Gm 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
Cm
Where I felt something die,
Eb F
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
[Bridge]
Eb A#/D
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
Dm F
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you,
Eb A#/D
Even now when we're already over,
Dm F
I can't help myself from looking for you
[Chorus]
Gm
I set fire to the rain,
F
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
Cm
Well, it burned when I cried,
Gm F
Cause I heard it screaming your name, your name
Gm
I set fire to the rain,
F
And I threw us into the flames
Cm
Where I felt something die,
Eb F
Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh
[Outro]
Gm F Cm Gm F
Let it burn!
Gm F Cm Eb F
Let it burn!
