Intro: G#mBF#E
Verse:
G#mB
I let it fall, my heart,
F#E
And as it fell, you rose to claim it,
G#mB
It was dark and I was over,
F#E
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me,
G#mB
My hands, theyʼre strong,
F#E
but my knees were far too weak,
G#mB
To stand in your arms
F#E
without falling to your feet,
Pre-chorus:
EG#m
But thereʼs a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
EG#m
All the things youʼd say, they were never true, never true,
EF#
And the games youʼd 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#mF#
ʼCause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
Verse:
G#mB
When lay with you
F#E
I could stay there, close my eyes,
G#mB
feel you here forever,
F#E
You and me together, nothing is better,
Pre-chorus:
EG#m
But thereʼs a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
EG#m
All the things youʼd say, they were never true, never true,
EF#
And the games youʼd 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#mF#
ʼCause 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#mF#
ʼCause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Bridge:
G#mB
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
F#E
And heard you calling, must be waiting for you,
G#mB
Even now when weʼre already over,
F#E
I canʼt help myself from looking for you,
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#mF#
ʼCause 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#mF#
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.
