# [Verse 1:]
         Dm       F
I let it fall, my heart,
          C                      Bb
And as it fell you rose to claim it
       Dm             F
It was dark and I was over
          C                      Bb
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
   Dm             F
My hands, they're strong
       C                  Bb
But my knees were far too weak
   Dm            F
To stand in your arms
        C               Bb
Without falling to your feet

# [Pre-Chorus:]
               Bb
But there's a side to you
       Dm
That I never knew, never knew.
        Bb
All the things you'd say
          Dm
They were never true, never true,
        Bb
And the games you play
          C
You would always win, always win.

# [Chorus:]
          Dm
But I set fire to the rain,
           C
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
         Bb
Well, it burned while I cried
                                F               C
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

# [Verse 2:]
       Dm       F
When I lay with you
        C           Bb
I could stay there, close my eyes,
         Dm   F
Feel you here forever
        C                       Bb
You and me together, nothing is better

# [Pre-Chorus:]
               Bb
?Cause there's a side to you
       Dm
That I never knew, never knew.
        Bb
All the things you'd say
          Dm
They were never true, never true,
        Bb
And the games you play
          C
You would always win, always win.

# [Chorus:]
          Dm
But I set fire to the rain,
           C
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
         Bb
Well, it burned while I cried
                                F               C
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
      Dm
I set fire to the rain
      C
And I threw us into the flames
         Bb
Where it felt something die
                                     F              C
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

# [Bridge:]
          Dm               F
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
               Am                     C
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Dm                          F
Even now when we're already over
        Am                           C
I can't help myself from looking for you.

# [Chorus:]
      Dm
I set fire to the rain,
           C
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
         Bb
Well, it burned while I cried
                                F               C
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
      Dm
I set fire to the rain,
      C
And I threw us into the flames
         Bb
Where it felt something die
                                     F              C         Dm
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, ohhhh!

Oh noooo
C

Oh oh ohhhh
Bb

Oh oh ohhhh
F      C
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
