Chorus:
     D#m                           C#
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
        A#m
That I find myself
   G#
I find myself
     D#m                           C#
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
        A#m
That I find myself
   G#
I find myself

D#                       E
Something beautiful is happening inside for me
D#                       E
Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery
D#               G#m
I feel hypnotized, I feel paralyzed
C#m           B
I have found heaven

There's a thousand reasons why
I shouldn't spend my time with you
For every reason not to be here I can think of two
To keep me hanging on feeling nothing's wrong
Inside your heaven

Chorus:
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
That I find myself, I find myself
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
That I find myself, I find myself

I can feel the emptiness inside me fade and disappear
There's a feeling of contentment now that you are here
I feel satisfied, I belong inside
Your velvet heaven

D#
Did I need to sell my soul
                    E
For pleasure like this
D#
Did I have to lose control
                  E
To treasure your kiss
D#
Did I need to place my heart
                     E
In the palm of your hand
D#
Before I could even start
          E
To understand

Chorus:
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
That I find myself, I find myself
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
That I find myself, I find myself
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
That I find myself, I find myself
It's only when I lose myself with someone else
That I find myself, I find myself
