capo on 5th
standard tuning
verse:
AmC
i let it fall, my heart,
GDm
and as it fell, you rose to claim it,
AmC
it was dark and i was over,
GDm
until you kissed my lips and you saved me,
AmC
my hands, they’re strong,
GDm
but my knees were far too weak,
AmC
to stand in your arms
GDm
without falling to your feet,
refrain:
F
but there’s a side to you that i never knew, never knew,
Am
all the things you’d say, they were never true, never true,
FG
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,
Dm
well, it burned while i cried,
FG
‘cause i heard it screaming out your name, your name,
verse:
AmC
when lay with you
GDm
i could stay there, close my eyes,
AmC
feel you here forever,
GDm
you and me together, nothing is better,
refrain:
F
but there’s a side to you that i never knew, never knew,
Am
all the things you’d say, they were never true, never true,
FG
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,
Dm
well, it burned while i cried,
FG
‘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,
Dm
well, i felt something die,
FG
‘cause i knew that that was the last time, the last time,
bridge:
FG
sometimes i wake up by the door,
EmF
and heard you calling, must be waiting for you,
FG
even now when we’re already over,
EmG
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,
Dm
well, it burned while i cried,
FG
‘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,
Dm
well, i felt something die,
FG
‘cause i knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Am, G, Dm, F, G
