evan:
F C
he said
A#
there's nothing like your smile, sort of
F C A#
subtle, and perfect and real
F C
he said,
A#
you never knew how wonderful that
F C A#
smile could make someone feel
F C
and he knew
A#
whenever you get bored you'd scribble
F C A#
stars on the cuffs of your jeans
F C
and he noticed
A#
that you still fill out the quizzes that they
F C A#
put in those teen magazines
Dm G7
but he kept it all
C (D7)
inside his head
Dm G7 C
what he saw, he left unsaid
A#
and though he wanted to,
F
he couldn't talk to you,
C
he couldn't find the way,
C7
but he would always say,
[Chorus]
A# F
if i could tell her
Dm C
tell her everything i see
A# F
if i could tell her
Dm C
how she's everything to me,
A# F A7 Dm
but we're a million worlds apart
A# C
and i don't know how i would even start,
F C A#
if i could tell her
F C A#
if i could tell her

[Verse]
F C
he thought
A#
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
A#
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
F C A#
indigo streaks in your hair
F C
and he wondered
A#
how you learned to dance like all the
F C A#
rest of the world isn't there
Dm G7
but he kept it all
C (D7)
inside his head
Dm G7 C
what he saw, he left unsaid
[Chorus]
A# F
if i could tell her
Dm C
tell her everything i see
A# F
if i could tell her
Dm C
how she's everything to me,
A# F A7 Dm
but we're a million worlds apart
A# C
and i don't know how i would even start,
F C A#
if i could tell her

if i could tell her
Ab Db
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
Ab Db
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)
Ab D#
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?
(zoey: it's like i don't know anything)
Ab
and how do you say,
Db
i love you
Db
i love you
Db
i love you
Db
i love you
