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