Although this isn't set to Adele's range, I like the tone of this when sung low — works
well for a male voice, actually! For those that can sing the high version, these chords
sound great too.
I love this song so much. ENJOY!
Intro: [Em], [G], [D], [C]
Verse:
[Em] [G]
I let it fall, my heart,
[D] [C]
And as it fell, you rose to claim it,
[Em] [G]
It was dark and I was over,
[D] [C]
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me,
[Em] [G]
My hands, they're strong,
[D] [C]
but my knees were far too weak,
[Em] [G]
To stand in your arms
[D] [C]
without falling to your feet,
Refrain:
[C]
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
[Em]
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
[C] [D]
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win,
Chorus:
[Em]
But I set fire to the rain,
[D]
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
[C]
Well, it burned while I cried,
[Am] [D]
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
Verse:
[Em] [G]
When lay with you
[D] [C]
I could stay there, close my eyes,
[Em] [G]
feel you here forever,
[D] [C]
You and me together, nothing is better,
Refrain:
[C]
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
[Em]
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
[C] [D]
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win,
Chorus:
[Em]
But I set fire to the rain,
[D]
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
[C]
Well, it burned while I cried,
[Am] [D]
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
[Em]
I set fire to the rain,
[D]
And I threw us into the flames,
[C]
Well, I felt something die,
[Am] [D]
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Bridge:
[Em] [G]
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
[D] [C]
That heart you caught must be waiting for ya.
[Em] [G]
Even now when we're already over,
[D] [C]
I can't help myself from looking for you,
Chorus:
[Em]
But I set fire to the rain,
[D]
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
[C]
Well, it burned while I cried,
[Am] [D]
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
[Em]
I set fire to the rain,
[D]
And I threw us into the flames,
[C]
Well, I felt something die,
[Am] [D]
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
Outro:
[Em]
Oh..............
[D]
Oh no..............
[C] [Am] [D]
Let it burn.........oh...........
