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

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