           E          G   D        E           G  D
When you stop seeing beauty, you start growing old
     C             D          C           D
The lines on your face are a map to your soul
           E           G  D            E             G D
When you stop taking chances, you'll stay where you sit
           C        D                C        D
You won't live any longer but it'll feel like it

Chorus:
C  G      D
I lost myself in the summer rain
C  G      D
I lost myself
C  G      D                  G  Em C Am
I lost myself in the summer rain
               G  Em C Am
In the summer rain

Tequila and orange, Jamaica and rum
At the Moreilla, honey on my tongue
In a small boat on a generous sea
You let me be your enemy
A tiny hand with a grip on the world
Holding our breath now, diving for pearls

Chorus

 G
Just as you find me
Em
Always I will be
   C                   Am
A little bit too free with myself
 G
Just as you find me
Em
Always I will be
   C                   Am
A little bit too free with myself

Chorus:
I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
Now there's no one else
In the summer rain

Raining down
It's raining down
It, rain
Raining down
Raining down

Just as you find me, always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me, always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
Mmm
(Cha-cha-cha)

It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do
It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong
