The former one is what I heard in Adele's song Rolling in the Deep, is this a common usage?
Or is it just for rhyme?
update: to make my question more specific:
- Is the former one grammatically correct? I am only taught the latter form in school.
- If correct, is there any difference, maybe slightly, between them?
The rhyme thing is just my guess.

I have no formal evidence to be used
But I don't think the phrasing is meant to be abused
When writing lyrics, some of the time
Writers rearrange the words, just to make a rhyme
