G# D#
he said
C#
there's nothing like your smile, sort of
G# D# C#
subtle, and perfect and real
G# D#
he said,
C#
you never knew how wonderful that
G# D# C#
smile could make someone feel
G# D#
and he knew
C#
whenever you get bored you'd scribble
G# D# C#
stars on the cuffs of your jeans
G# D#
and he noticed
C#
that you still fill out the quizzes that they
G# D# C#
put in those teen magazines
Fm A#7
but he kept it all
D# (D7)
inside his head
Fm A#7 D#
what he saw, he left unsaid
C#
and though he wanted to,
G#
he couldn't talk to you,
D#
he couldn't find the way,
D#7
but he would always say,
[Chorus]
C# G#
if i could tell her
Fm D#
tell her everything i see
C# G#
if i could tell her
Fm D#
how she's everything to me,
C# G# C7 Fm
but we're a million worlds apart
C# D#
and i don't know how i would even start,
G# D# C#
if i could tell her
G# D# C#
if i could tell her

indigo streaks in your hair
G# D#
and he wondered
C#
how you learned to dance like all the
G# D# C#
rest of the world isn't there
Fm A#7
but he kept it all
D# (D7)
inside his head
Fm A#7 D#
what he saw, he left unsaid

Cb Fb
