Cm           D#                 C#
I prepared for the worst in a storm
                 G#                 Cm
It doesn't take long before I'm shaking
                 D#                     C#
I watch the news end, wait for the forecast
               G#                 Cm
I fill a tall glass, try to be patient
                  D#                           C#
It's been a long time, I feel my temperature rise
                         G#   Cm
You might be moving too fast, oh
              D#                   C#
Wait for the sirens, sit in the silence
            G#
I sit on my hands

            D#                                 Gm
I feel the breeze, feel the sea swelling and drowning me
G#          D#                                 Gm
I feel the night, feel the sunlight, I feel everything
Cm                        D#
I feel your love, and I'm done and I surrender now
          G#                 D#
I want my level, you've got to bring him, bring him down

Chorus:
G#             D#
I thought you were a game
Gm     G#                D#
Turns out you were the summer rain
     G
You came
    G#            D#
To wash away the love I made
Gm  G#          D#
I needed you in every way
G          C#  D#
My summer rain
           C# D#
My summer rain
           C# D#
My summer rain
           C# D#
My summer rain

I was mistaken, but I feel safe here
So now we're making some kind of rainbow
The storm has broken, two words are spoken
And I am soaking in all you're love, so
Love me for all time, and feel my temperature rise
Thought you were moving too fast, oh
But I was just scared to let you into my head
And let you see my past

I feel the breeze, feel the sea swelling and drowning me
I feel the night, feel the sunlight, I feel everything
I feel your love, and I'm done and I surrender now
I want whatever you've got, so bring 'em, bring 'em down

Chorus:
I thought you were a hurricane
Turned out you were just summer rain
You came to wash away all of my pain
I needed you in every way
My summer rain

                     D#
When you live in fear
                   C#
You miss everything
                G# Cm
I was struggling
                      D#
When you stop fighting
              C#
The war within
              G#
Everybody wins

Chorus:
I thought you were a hurricane
Turns out you were just summer rain
You came to wash away all of my pain
I needed you in every way
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
