evan:
A E
he said
D
there's nothing like your smile, sort of
A E D
subtle, and perfect and real
A E
he said,
D
you never knew how wonderful that
A E D
smile could make someone feel
A E
and he knew
D
whenever you get bored you'd scribble
A E D
stars on the cuffs of your jeans
A E
and he noticed
D
that you still fill out the quizzes that they
A E D
put in those teen magazines
F#m B7
but he kept it all
E (D7)
inside his head
F#m B7 E
what he saw, he left unsaid
D
and though he wanted to,
A
he couldn't talk to you,
E
he couldn't find the way,
E7
but he would always say,
[Chorus]
D A
if i could tell her
F#m E
tell her everything i see
D A
if i could tell her
F#m E
how she's everything to me,
D A C#7 F#m
but we're a million worlds apart
D E
and i don't know how i would even start,
A E D
if i could tell her
A E D
if i could tell her

A E
he thought
D
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
D
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
A E D
indigo streaks in your hair
A E
and he wondered
D
how you learned to dance like all the
A E D
rest of the world isn't there
F#m B7
but he kept it all
E (D7)
inside his head
F#m B7 E
what he saw, he left unsaid
[Chorus]
D A
if i could tell her
F#m E
tell her everything i see
D A
if i could tell her
F#m E
how she's everything to me,

but we're a million worlds apart

and i don't know how i would even start,
A E D
if i could tell her
F
if i could tell her
C F
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
C F
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)
C G
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?

C
and how do you say,

F
i love you
F
i love you
