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...........
