Beep boop! This is how you play it properly using the correct chords without a capo. Lower down on the page you'll see how to play it with the capo at 3rd and 5th fret. This can be useful if you want to make it a bit higher or lower depending on the singers voice and want to adjust the chords and variations easily.

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

[Refrain] BbGm7 DmBbC
Bb But there's a side to you Gm7 That I never knew, never knew. Dm All the things you'd say Dm They were never true, never true, Bb And the games you play C You would always win, always win
[Chorus] (short version with just one line of "fire to the rain") DmCGm7 DmC
Dm But I set fire to the rain, C Watched it pour as I touched your face, Gm7 Well, it burned while I cried DmC 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
