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

F#
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
F#
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
C# G# F#
indigo streaks in your hair
C# G#
and he wondered
F#
how you learned to dance like all the
C# G# F#
rest of the world isn't there
A#m D#7
but he kept it all
G# (D7)
inside his head
A#m D#7 G#
what he saw, he left unsaid
[Chorus]
F# C#
if i could tell her
A#m G#
tell her everything i see
F# C#

A#m G#
how she's everything to me,
F# C# F7 A#m
but we're a million worlds apart
F# G#
and i don't know how i would even start,
C# G# F#
if i could tell her

if i could tell her
Fb A
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
Fb A
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)

A
i love you
A
