Dadd2 
   I peer through  
A/D 
windows,
 
Gadd2/D 
   watch life go  
D 
by.
 
Dream of to
A/D 
morrow
 
Gsus 
   and wonder  
G 
why.
 
F 
   The past is  
C/F 
holding 
 
me,
 
Bb/F 
   keeping life at  
F 
bay
 
I wander  
C/F 
lost in  
A/C# 
yester
Dm 
day.
 
Dm/C 
   Wanting to  
Bb 
fly,
 
Gm7 
   but scared to  
Bb/C 
try…
 
But if  
F 
someone like you,
 
found  
Gm 
someone like me,
 
then  
Fsus 
suddenly, 
 
 
F 
 
nothing would  
Bb 
ever be the  
Gm7(b5) 
same.
 
My  
F 
heart would take  
Gm7 
wing
 
and I’d  
Fadd2/A 
feel so al
Gm 
ive,
 
cuz  
F 
someone 
 
 
Dm 
like 
 
 
Gm 
you 
 
 
Db/Eb 
found 
 
 
Fadd2 
me.
 
Em7 
 
G/A 
 
Dadd2 
   So many  
A/D 
secrets
 
Gadd2/D 
   I long to  
D 
share,
 
all I have  
A/D 
needed
 
Gsus 
   is  
G 
someone 
 
there.
 
F 
   To help me  
C/F 
see a world
 
Bb5 
   I’ve never see
F 
n before –
 
a love to  
Asus 
open 
 
 
A 
every 
 
 
Dm 
door.
 
Dm/C 
   To set me  
Bbadd2 
free
 
F/G 
   so  
Gm 
I can  
C7sus 
soar…
 
If  
Fadd2 
someone like you,
 
found  
Gm 
someone like me,
 
then  
Fsus 
sudden
F/A 
ly,
 
nothing would  
Bbmaj7 
ever be the  
Gm7(b5) 
same.
 
There’d be a  
F 
new 
 
 
Dm 
way to  
Gm 
live,
 
a  
F 
new 
 
 
Dm 
life to  
Gm 
love,
 
if  
F 
someone 
 
 
Dm 
like 
 
 
Gm 
you 
 
 
C7sus 
found 
 
 
Dbmaj7 
me.
 
B/Db 
Ohh, 
 
 
B6/Db 
if…
 
Gbadd2 
Someone like you,
 
found  
Abm7 
someone like me,
 
then  
Gbsus 
sudden
Gb 
ly,
 
nothing would  
Bmaj7 
ever be the  
Abdim 
same!
 
My  
Gb 
heart 
 
 
Ebm7 
would take  
Abm 
wing
 
and I  
Bbm7 
feel so al
Db9 
ive! 
 
 
Eb7 
 
If  
Abm(add4)

Dbsus

Bmaj7 
 
loved  
Gb
