INTRO: Dm F C Gm

          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're strong
          C                Gm
 But my knees were far too weak,
     Dm           F
 To stand in your arms
          C               
 Without falling to your feet
 

               Bb
But there's a side to you
         Gm
 That I never knew, never knew.
           Dm
 All the things you'd say

 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,
          Gm
 Well, it burned while I cried
                                  Dm              C
 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!


        Dm       F
When I lay with you
           C  
 I could stay there
   Gm
 Close my eyes
           Dm     F
 Feel you here forever
          C
 You and me together
             
 Nothing is better
 

                  Bb
'Cause there's a side to you
         Gm
 That I never knew, never knew,
           Dm
 All the things you'd say,

 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,
          Gm
 Well, it burned while I cried
                                  Dm              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
           Gm
 Where it felt something die
                                  Bb                  C
 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

 
          Bb                F/A       
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
        Am                         C
 That heart you caught must be waiting for you
      Bb                     F/A
 Even now when we're already over
          Am                       C
 I can't help myself from looking for you.

[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
                                  Dm              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
           Gm
 Where it felt something die
                                  Bb                  C
 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, ohhhh!

 
( Dm C Gm Dm C Dm C Gm Bb C )
Oh noooo

 Let it burn, oh

 Let it burn

 Let it burn
