I let it fall, my heart,
C Gm
And as it fell you rose to claim it.
Dm F
It was dark and I was over,
C C
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

[Verse]

Dm F
My hands they're strong,
C Gm
but my knees were far too weak,
Dm F
Stand in your arms
C Gm
without fall to your your feet,

[Refrain]

Bb Gm
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.
Dm Dm
All the things you'd say, they where never true, never true,
Bb C
And the games you'd play, you would always, always win.

[Chorus]

Dm
But I set fire to the rain,
C
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Gm
Let it burn while I cry,
Dm C
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

[Verse]

Dm F
When I'm with you
C Gm
I could stay there,
Dm F
Close my eyes, feel you're here forever,
C Gm
You and me together, nothing is better

[Refrain]

Bb Gm
But there's a side to you that I never knew, I never knew.

All the things you'd say, they where never true, never true,

But I set fire to the rain,
C
Watch it pour as I touched your face,
Gm
well it burned while I cry,
Dm C
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Dm
I set fire to the rain
C
And I threw us into the flames
Gm
Where I felt something die,
Bb C
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time

[Bridge]

Bb F/A
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
Am C
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you,
Bb F/A
Even now when we're already over,
Am C
I can't help myself from looking for you

[Chorus]

Dm
I set fire to the rain,
C
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
Gm
Let it burn when I cry,
Dm C
Cause I heard it screaming your name, your name
Dm
I set fire to the rain,
C
And I threw us into the flames

Where I felt something die,
Bb Dm
Cause I knew that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh

I don't wanna talk - about the things we've gone through
G#m C#(sus2)
Though it's hurting me - now it's history
F#(sus2/4) C#(sus2)/F
I've played all my cards - and that's what you've done too
G#m(sus2/4) C#(sus2/4)
Nothing more to say - no more ace to play

[Chorus]
F# Bb7/#5 Ebm(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all - the loser standing small
Eb/G G#m(sus4/2) C#(sus4/2)
Beside the victory - that's her destiny

[Verse 2]
F#(sus2/4) C#(sus2)/F
I was in your arms - thinking I belonged there
G#m(sus2/4)/Eb C#(sus2/4)
I figured it made sense - building me a fence
F#(sus2/4) C#(sus2)/F
Building me a home - thinking I'd be strong there
G#m(sus2/4)/Eb C#(sus2/4)
But I was a fool - playing by the rules

[Chorus]
F# Bb7/#5 Ebm(sus4/2)
The gods may throw a dice - their minds as cold as ice
Eb/G G#m(sus4/2) C#(sus4/2)
And someone way down here - loses someone dear
F# Bb7/#5 Ebm(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all - the loser has to fall
Eb/G G#m(sus4/2) C#(sus4/2)
It's simple and it's plain - why should I complain.

[Verse 3]
F#(sus2/4) C#(sus2)/F
But tell me does she kiss - Like I used to kiss you?
G#m(sus2/4)/Eb C#(sus2/4)
Does it feel the same - when she calls your name?
F#(sus2/4) C#(sus2)/F
Somewhere deep inside - you must know I miss you
G#m(sus2/4)/Eb C#(sus2/4)
But what can I say - rules must be obeyed

[Chorus]
F# Bb7/#5 Ebm(sus4/2)
The judges will decide - the likes of me abide
Eb/G G#m(sus4/2) C#(sus4/2)
Spectators of the show - always staying low
F# Bb7/#5 Ebm(sus4/2)
The game is on again - a lover or a friend
Eb/G G#m(sus4/2) C#(sus4/2)
A big thing or a small - the winner takes it all

[Outro]
F# C#(sus2)/F
I don't wanna talk - if it makes you feel sad
G#m C#(sus2/4)
And I understand - you've come to shake my hand
F#(sus2/4) C#(sus2)/F
I apologise - if it makes you feel bad
G#m(sus2/4) C#(sus2/4)
Seeing me so tense - no self-confidence ..but you see

F# Bb7/#5 Ebm(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all...
Eb/G G#m(sus4/2) C#(sus4/2)
The winner takes it all...

F# Bb7/#5 Ebm(sus4/2)
