Lyrics

I let it (Dm)fall,

my (F)heart.

And as it (C)fell you rose to claim it.

It was (Dm)dark

and I was o (F)ver

un til you (C)kissed my lips and you saved me.

My (Dm)hands

they were (F)strong,

but my (C)knees were far too weak

to (Dm)stand

in your arms

with out fall ing to your feet.

But (C)there’s a (Bb6)side to you that I (Gm)nev er knew, nev er knew.

All the (Dm)things you’d say, they were nev er true, nev er true.

And the (Bb)games you’d play you would (Csus2)al ways win, al (C)ways win.

But (CN.C.)I set (Dm)fire

to the rain.

Watched it (C)pour as I touched your face.

When it (Gm)burned, well, I cried ’cause I heard it scream ing out your (Dm)name.

Your (C)name.

When (Dm)I lay

with (F)you

I could stay there, just close my eyes, feel you (Dm)here

for ev er.

You and me to geth er noth ing gets ter.

’Cause (Bb6)side to you that I (Gm)nev er knew, nev er knew.

All the (Dm)things you’d say, they were nev er true, nev er true.

And the (Bb)games you’d play you would (Csus2)al ways win, al (C)ways win.

But (CN.C.)I set (Dm)fire

to the rain.

Watched it (C)pour as I touched your face.

When it (Gm)burned, well, I cried ’cause I heard it scream ing out your (Dm)name.

Your (C)name.

When

I set (Dm)fire

to the rain.

And I threw (C)us in to the flames.

When we fell, some thing died ’cause I knew that that was the last (Bb)time,

the last time.

Some times I wake up by the door

that heart you (Am)caught must be ing for ya.

E ven now when we’re al read y o ver.

I can’t help my self from ing for you.

I set (Dm)fire

to the rain.

Watched it pour as I touched your face.

When it burned, well, I cried ’cause I heard it scream ing out your (Dm)name.

Your name.

I set

’Cause knew that that was the last (Dm)name.

Your name.
