Dm F
I let it fall, my heart,
C Gm
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
Dm F
It was dark and I was over
C Csus4 C
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.
Dm F
My hands, they were strong,
C Gm
But my knees were far too weak
Dm F/A
To stand in your arms,
C Csus4
Without falling to your feet.
C Gm/Bb Gm
But there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
Dm Dm7
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true.
Bb Csus2 C
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win.
Chorus:
Dm
But I set fire to the rain,
C
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Gm
Well it burned while I cried,
Dm C
’Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name.
Dm F
When laying with you,
C Gm
I could stay there, close my eyes,
Dm F/A
Feel you here forever,
C Csus4
You and me together, nothing is better.
C Gm/Bb Gm
’Cause there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
Dm Dm7
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true.
Bb Csus2 C
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win.
Chorus:
Dm
But I set fire to the rain,
C
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Gm
Well it burned while I cried,
Dm C
’Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name.
Dm
I set fire to the rain,
C
And I thew us into the flames,
Gm
Well I felt something die
Bb C
’Cause I knew that, that was the last time, last time.
Bb Am+
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
Am C Csus4 C
And heard you calling, must be waiting for you,
Bb Am+
Even now when we’re already over,
Am C Csus4 C
I can’t help myself from looking for you.
Chorus:
Dm
I set fire to the rain,
C
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Gm
Well it burned while I cried,
Dm C
’Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name.
Dm
I set fire to the rain,
C
And I thew us into the flames,
Gm
Well I felt something die
Bb C
’Cause I knew that, that was the last time, last time.
Dm C
О-oh, oh, no,
Gm
Let it burn,
Dm C
О-oh, oh,
Dm C
Let it burn,
Gm Bb C
Let it burn.
