Intro Am C G F
Am C G F
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
F
But there's a side to you that
Am
I never knew, never knew
F
All the things you'd say
Am
They were never true, never true
F
And the games you'd play
G
You would always win, always win
Am C
But I set fire to the rain
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
F
Well, it burned while I cried
Am
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
G
Your name
Am C
When I 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
F
But there's a side to you that
Am
I never knew, never knew
F
All the things you'd say
Am
They were never true, never true
F
And the games you'd play
G
You would always win, always win
Am C
But I set fire to the rain
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
F
Well, it burned while I cried
Am
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
G
Your name
Am
I set fire to the rain
G
And I threw us into the flames
F
When we fell, somethin' died
Am
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
G
The last time
Am C
Sometimes I wake up by the door
G F
That heart you caught must be waitin' for you
Am C
Even now when we're already over
G F
I can't help myself from looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you
Am C
But I set fire to the rain
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
F
Well, it burned while I cried
Am
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
G
Your name
Am
I set fire to the rain
G
And I threw us into the flames
F
When we fell, somethin' died
Am
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
G
The last time
Am G
Oooh, oh no, oh
F Am
Let it burn, oh
Am G
Let it burn
F Am G
Let it burn oh oo
