          Dm       F
I let it fall, my heart,
           C                 Gm
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
       Dm               F
It was dark and I was over
           C
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.

   Dm                  F
My hands, they were strong,
         C                 Gm
But my knees were far too weak
    Dm           F/A
To stand in your arms,
         C
Without falling to your feet.

                Gm/A#
   But there’s a side to you
          Gm
   That I never knew, never knew,
            Dm
   All the things you’d say,
              Dm7
   They were never true, never true.
            A#
   And the games you’d 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,
              Gm
     Well it burned while I cried,
     ’Cause I heard it screaming out
           Dm         C
     Your name, your name.

      Dm          F
When laying with you,
          C           Gm
I could stay there, close my eyes,
          Dm     F/A
Feel you here forever,
         C
You and me together, nothing is better.

   ’Cause there’s a side to you
   That I never knew, never knew,
   All the things you’d say,
   They were never true, never true.
   And the games you’d play,
   You would always win, always win.

Chorus:
     But I set fire to the rain,
     Watched it pour as I touched your face,
     Well it burned while I cried,
     ’Cause I heard it screaming out
     Your name, your name.

     I set fire to the rain,
     And I thew us into the flames,
     Well I felt something die
     ’Cause I knew that, that was
               A#         C
     The last time, last time.

          A#               Am
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
And heard you calling,
                 C
Must be waiting for you,
      A#                    Am
Even now when we’re already over,
I can't help myself
              C
From looking for you.

Chorus:
     I set fire to the rain,
     Watched it pour as I touched your face,
     Well it burned while I cried,
     ’Cause I heard it screaming out
          Dm          C
     Your name, your name.

     I set fire to the rain,
     And I thew us into the flames,
     Well I felt something die
     ’Cause I knew that, that was
              A#          C
     The last time, last time.

       Dm       C
     O-oh, oh, no,
            Gm
     Let it burn,
       Dm  C
     O-oh, oh,
             Dm  C
     Let it burn,
             Gm A# C
     Let it burn.
