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

F# C#
he thought
B
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
B
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
F# C# B
indigo streaks in your hair
F# C#
and he wondered
B
how you learned to dance like all the
F# C# B
rest of the world isn't there
D#m G#7
but he kept it all
C# (D7)
inside his head
D#m G#7 C#
what he saw, he left unsaid
[Chorus]
B F#
if i could tell her
D#m C#
tell her everything i see
B F#
if i could tell her
D#m C#
how she's everything to me,
B F# A#7 D#m
but we're a million worlds apart
B C#
and i don't know how i would even start,
F# C# B
if i could tell her
D
if i could tell her
A D
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
A D
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)
A E
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?
(zoey: it's like i don't know anything)
A
and how do you say,
D
i love you
D
i love you
D
i love you
D
i love you
