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

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