Verse:
Am C
I let it fall, my heart,
G F
And as it fell, you rose to claim it,
Am C
It was dark and I was over,
G F
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me,
Am C
My hands, they're strong,
G F
but my knees were far too weak,
Am C
To stand in your arms
G F
without falling to your feet,
Refrain:
F Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
F Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
F G
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win,
Chorus:
Am
But I set fire to the rain,
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
F
Well, it burned while I cried,
Dm G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
Verse:
Am C
When lay with you
G F
I could stay there, close my eyes,
Am C
feel you here forever,
G F
You and me together, nothing is better,
Refrain:
F Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
F Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
F G
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win,
Chorus:
Am
But I set fire to the rain,
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
F
Well, it burned while I cried,
Dm G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
Am
I set fire to the rain,
G
And I threw us into the flames,
F
Well, I felt something die,
Dm G
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Bridge:
Am C
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
G F
And heard you calling, must be waiting for you,
Am C
Even now when we're already over,
G F
I can't help myself from looking for you,
Chorus:
Am
But I set fire to the rain,
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
F
Well, it burned while I cried,
Dm G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
Am
I set fire to the rain,
G
And I threw us into the flames,
F
Well, I felt something die,
Dm G
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Outro:
[Chords Chorus]
Oh, no,
Let it burn, oh,
Let it burn,
Let it burn.
