verse 1 :
C Am F G
there’s a secret path i follow to a place no one can find ,
C Am Dm F G
where i meet my perfect someone i’ve kept hidden in my mind ,
Am F Am F
where my heart makes my decisions till my dream becomes a vision ,
C F C F G
and the love i feel makes him real someday .

chorus :
F C
cause i know he’s out there somewhere ,
G C
just beyond my reach ,
F C
though i’ve never really touched him ,
Dm G
or ever heard him speak ,
Am F
though we’ve never been together ,
Dm F
we’ve never been apart ,
F G C F
no we’ve never met haven’t found him yet ,
Dm G C
but i know him by heart

verse 2 :
Am i living an illusion wanting something i can’t see?
if i compromise , i’d be living lies pretending love’s not meant to be ,
cause i know my heart’s worth saving and i know that he’ll be waiting ,
so i’ll hold on and i’ll stay strong ’till then .

chorus :
cause i know he’s out there somewhere ,
just beyond my reach ,
though i’ve never really touched him ,
or ever heard him speak ,
though we’ve never been together ,
we’ve never been apart ,

no we’ve never met haven’t found him yet ,
but i know him by heart ,
no we’ve never met haven’t found him yet ,
but i know him by heart .
