Set Fire To The Rain - Adele (chords and lyrics)



My wife likes this song. She asked if I could play it for her on guitar, so I did...
I'm still in two minds about using F or Dm for some of the parts, so put both options in for you.
Play them both (obviously not at the same time) and see which suits your voice.

 - Then there is the 'issue' of lyrics for the second line of the Bridge...
I wasn't sure whether she sings, "that heart you caught" or "and heard you calling" - but am sure you'll figure it out...

If you're playing along to the YouTube video above, the sound might be a bit distorted, so I'd suggest playing along with it from your cd or mp3


Set Fire To The Rain  by  Adele


CAPO on the 5th

Intro: Am  C  G  F

          Am       C
I let it fall, my heart
             G                       Dm/F
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
          Am                 C
It was dark and I was over
             G                               F
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
     Am                  C             
My hands, they're strong
          G                          Dm/F
but my knees were far too weak
     Am               C
To stand in your arms
            G                  F
without falling to your feet


                    F                        Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
          F                                      Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
             F                                     G
And the games you play, you would always win, always win


             Am
But I set fire to the rain
                 G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
           Dm/F
Well, it burned while I cried
                                                   Am            G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name


           Am       C
When I lay with you
           G               Dm/F
I could stay there, close my eyes
          Am     C
feel you here forever
            G                                         F
You and me together, nothing is (gets) better


                   F                        Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
          F                                     Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
            F                                       G
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win


             Am
But I set fire to the rain
                 G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
           Dm/F
Well, it burned while I cried
                                                   Am            G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

       Am
I set fire to the rain
                G
And I threw us into the flames
          Dm/F
Well I felt something die
                                                    Am              G
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time


              Am/F                   C
Sometimes I wake up by the door
                     G                                                                Dm/F
And heard you calling (that heart you caught), must be waiting for you
       Am/F                          C
Even now when we're already over
          G                                 F
I can't help myself from looking for ya


             Am
But I set fire to the rain
                 G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
           Dm/F
Well, it burned while I cried
                                                   Am            G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

       Am
I set fire to the rain
            G
And I threw us into the flames
          Dm/F
Well I felt something die
                                                    Am              G
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time


      Am       G           Dm        Am      G 
Oh, oh, Oh, oh,Let it burn, oh, oh, oh oh
         Am     G           Dm     Am  G
Let it bu-uu-urn,Let it bu-u-u-u-u-urn
