Capo on the fifth



Intro: Am, C, G, F



Verse:

          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,





Refrain:

               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,





Chorus:

           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,





Verse:

      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,





Refrain:

               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,





Chorus:

           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

I set fire to the rain,

            G

And I threw us into the flames,

         F

Well, I felt something die,

                                      Dm             G

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,





Bridge:

          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,





Chorus:

           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

I set fire to the rain,

            G

And I threw us into the flames,

         F

Well, I felt something die,

                                      Dm             G

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,





Outro:

[Chords Chorus]

Oh, no,

Let it burn, oh,

Let it burn,

Let it burn.
