D# A#
he said
G#
there's nothing like your smile, sort of
D# A# G#
subtle, and perfect and real
D# A#
he said,
G#
you never knew how wonderful that
D# A# G#
smile could make someone feel
D# A#
and he knew
G#
whenever you get bored you'd scribble
D# A# G#
stars on the cuffs of your jeans
D# A#
and he noticed
G#
that you still fill out the quizzes that they
D# A# G#
put in those teen magazines
Cm F7
but he kept it all
A# (D7)
inside his head
Cm F7 A#
what he saw, he left unsaid
G#
and though he wanted to,
D#
he couldn't talk to you,
A#
he couldn't find the way,
A#7
but he would always say,
[Chorus]
G# D#
if i could tell her
Cm A#
tell her everything i see
G# D#
if i could tell her
Cm A#
how she's everything to me,
G# D# G7 Cm
but we're a million worlds apart
G# A#
and i don't know how i would even start,
D# A# G#
if i could tell her
D# A# G#
if i could tell her

he thought
G#
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
G#
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
D# A# G#
indigo streaks in your hair
D# A#
and he wondered
G#
how you learned to dance like all the
D# A# G#
rest of the world isn't there
Cm F7
but he kept it all
A# (D7)
inside his head
Cm F7 A#
what he saw, he left unsaid
[Chorus]
G# D#
if i could tell her
Cm A#
tell her everything i see
G# D#

how she's everything to me,
G# D# G7 Cm
but we're a million worlds apart
G# A#
and i don't know how i would even start,
D# A# G#
if i could tell her

if i could tell her
Gb Cb
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
Gb Cb
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)
Gb C#
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?

Gb
and how do you say,

i love you
Cb
i love you
Cb
i love you
Cb
