Set Fire To The Rain - Adele

C C C F G F
I let it fall, my heart,
F F F E E E E E F
And as it fell, you rose to claim it.
C C C F
It was dark
C C C G F D C D
And I was over,
F F F E E E
Until you kissed my lips
C C C D
And you saved me.
C F
My hands
G F D
They were strong,
F E E C C D D C a D
But my knees were far too weak,
C F
To stand
G G F D
In your arms without
F F E E E F F D
Falling to your feet,
D D D D E D D E F E D F E D
But there’s a side, to you, that I never knew, never knew.
D D D E D D E F E D F E D
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true,
D D D E D D E F E D F E E
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win.

RefrÃo:
F F G A A G F A G A
But I set fire to the rain,
G C4 F G F F C4 C4 G A
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
A D F D D F D D F D F D D F D
Well, it burned while I cried, ’cause I heard it screaming out your name,
F D C D F G
Your name!

C F G F
When I lay with you
F F E E C D D
I could stay there, Close my eyes,
C C F E D D G G A
Feel you here forever,
G F E E E E E E E E F G
You and me together, nothing is better
D D D D E D D E F E D F E D
But there’s a side, to you, that I never knew, never knew.
D D D E D D E F E D F E D
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true,
D D D E D D E F E D F E E
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win.
