Verse 1
A E
I let it fall, my heart, and as it fell, you rose to claim it
F#m D A E
It was dark and I was over until you kissed my lips and you saved me
F#m D A E
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
F#m D A E
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet
Chorus
A E
But there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew
F#m D A
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true
E F#m D
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win
A E
But I set fire to the rain
F#m D
Watched it pour as I touched your face
A E
Well, it burned while I cried
F#m D A
‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Verse 2
A E
When laying with you, I could stay there, close my eyes
F#m D A E
Feel you here forever, you and me together, nothing is better
F#m D A E
‘Cause there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew
F#m D A
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true
E F#m D
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win
Chorus
A E
But I set fire to the rain
F#m D
Watched it pour as I touched your face
A E
Well, it burned while I cried
F#m D A
‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Bridge
D A
I set fire to the rain
E F#m
And I threw us into the flames
D A
Where I felt something die
E F#m D
‘Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Chorus
A E
Sometimes I wake up by the door
F#m D
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
A E
Even now when we’re already over
F#m D
I can’t help myself from looking for you
Outro
A E
I set fire to the rain
F#m D
Watched it pour as I touched your face
A E
Well, it burned while I cried
F#m D A
‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
