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