Lyrics

I hear he’s out there some where.

Been look in’ for him ev ’ry where from (F)Ros well to Tim buk tu.

I thought I (C5)found him once at a Jif fy Lube.

But it turned in to a dead end, so I got my oil changed and I tried a gain, he was a (F)ma jor in ar chae ol o gy.

I was (C5)dig gin’ on him, but he was n’t on me.

The (G)girl try’n to find her self the per fect man is like (Bb)try’n to (F)find At lan tis.

It’s a mys ter y and like the deep blue sea, you can take it, you can leave it, but I still be lieve.

So, I (F)won’t give up and I won’t give in.

I (C)know I’m gon na find him, I just don’t know when.

A (G)girl try’n to find her self a per fect man is like (Bb)try’n to (F)find At lan tis.

I met a mys tic down in Mem phis.

I stood at the foot of the pyr a mid.

He had me (F)look in’ east, had me look in’ west.

Then he (C5)showed me a map and said, “I wish you the best.” Then there was El vis, (not the real one.) When he told me good bye, he called me “hon.” Just an (F)oth er shot in the dark, like El do (C5)ra do or No ah’s Ark.

A (Bb)try’n to (F)find At lan tis.

(C5)Oh,

yeah, it is.

It’s a mys ter y and like the deep blue sea, you can take it, you can leave it, but I still be lieve.

So, I (F)won’t give up and I won’t give in.

I (C)know I’m gon na find him, I just don’t know when.

A (G)girl try’n to find her self a per fect man is like (Bb)try’n to (F)find At lan tis.

I said a (G)girl try’n to find her self a per fect man is like (Bb)try’n to (F)find At lan

yeah.

Oh,
