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