Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

I let it [Dm]fall, my [F]heart. And as it [C]fell you also [Bb]claim it. It was [Dm]dark and I was o[F]ver. Until you [C]kissed my lips and you [Bb]saved me.

My [Dm]hands they’re [F]strong, but my [C]knees were far too [Bb]weak. To [Dm]stand in your [F]arms without [C]fall into your [Bb]feet.

But there’s a [Bb]side to you that I [Dm]never knew, I never knew. All the [Bb]things you say they were [Dm]never, where never true. And the [Bb]games you play, you [C]always, always win.

But I set [Dm]fire to the rain, watch it [C]pour as I touched your face. Let it [Bb]burn while I cried. ‘Cause I heard it screaming at your [Gm]name, your [C]name.

When [Dm]lay with [F]you I could [C]stay there. [Bb]Close my eyes, feel you’re [Dm]here fore[F]ver. You and [C]me together, nothing is [Bb]better.

But there’s a [Bb]side to you that I [Dm]never knew, I never knew. All the [Bb]things you say they were [Dm]never, where never true. And the [Bb]games you play, you [C]always, always win.

But I set [Dm]fire to the rain, watch it [C]pour as I touched your face. Let it [Bb]burn while I cried. Cause I heard it screaming at your [Gm]name, your [C]name.

I set [Dm]fire to the rain, and I threw [C]us into the flames. Well I [Bb]felt something die. ‘Cause I knew that that was the last [Gm]time, the last [C]time.

Sometimes I [Dm]wake up by the [F]door. And heard you [C]calling, must be waiting [Bb]for you. Even [Dm]now when we’re already [F]over. I can’t [C]help myself from looking [Bb]for you.

But I set [Dm]fire to the rain, watch it [C]pour as I touched your face. Let it [Bb]burn while I cried. Cause I heard it screaming at your [Gm]name, your [C]name.

I set [Dm]fire to the rain, and I threw [C]us into the flames. Well I [Bb]felt something die. ‘Cause I knew that that was the last [Gm]time, the last [C]time.
