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