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

Let it burn,
