Intro: A#mC#G#F#
Verse:
A#mC#
I let it fall, my heart,
G#F#
And as it fell, you rose to claim it,
A#mC#
It was dark and I was over,
G#F#
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me,
A#mC#
My hands, theyʼre strong,
G#F#
but my knees were far too weak,
A#mC#
To stand in your arms
G#F#
without falling to your feet,
Pre-chorus:
F#A#m
But thereʼs a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
F#A#m
All the things youʼd say, they were never true, never true,
F#G#
And the games youʼd play, you would always win, always win,
Chorus:
A#m
But I set fire to the rain,
G#
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
F#
Well, it burned while I cried,
D#mG#
ʼCause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
Verse:
A#mC#
When lay with you
G#F#
I could stay there, close my eyes,
A#mC#
feel you here forever,
G#F#
You and me together, nothing is better,
Pre-chorus:
F#A#m
But thereʼs a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
F#A#m
All the things youʼd say, they were never true, never true,
F#G#
And the games youʼd play, you would always win, always win,
Chorus:
A#m
But I set fire to the rain,
G#
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
F#
Well, it burned while I cried,
D#mG#
ʼCause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
A#m
I set fire to the rain,
G#
And I threw us into the flames,
F#
Well, I felt something die,
D#mG#
ʼCause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Bridge:
A#mC#
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
G#F#
And heard you calling, must be waiting for you,
A#mC#
Even now when weʼre already over,
G#F#
I canʼt help myself from looking for you,
Chorus:
A#m
But I set fire to the rain,
G#
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
F#
Well, it burned while I cried,
D#mG#
ʼCause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
A#m
I set fire to the rain,
G#
And I threw us into the flames,
F#
Well, I felt something die,
D#mG#
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Outro:
Oh, no,
Let it burn, oh,
Let it burn,
Let it burn.
