Capo 4
Intro: 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.
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...
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 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.
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 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...
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 Am
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name, your name.
