[Intro]

[Verse]

Evan:

G D

he said

there's nothing like your smile, sort of

G D C

subtle, and perfect and real

G D

he said,

you never knew how wonderful that

G D C

smile could make someone feel

G D

and he knew

whenever you get bored you'd scribble

G D C

stars on the cuffs of your jeans

G D

and he noticed

that you still fill out the quizzes that they

G D C

put in those teen magazines

Em A7

but he kept it all

D D7

()

inside his head

Em A7 D

what he saw, he left unsaid

and though he wanted to,

he couldn't talk to you,

he couldn't find the way,

but he would always say,

[Chorus]

C G

if I could tell her

Em D

tell her everything I see

C G

if I could tell her

Em D

how she's everything to me,

C G B7 Em

but we're a million worlds apart

C D

and I don't know how I would even start,

G D C

if I could tell her

G D C

if I could tell her

[Bridge]

G D C

[Verse]

G D

he thought

you looked really pretty- eh erm,

it looked pretty COOL, when you put

G D C

indigo streaks in your hair

G D

and he wondered

how you learned to dance like all the

G D C

rest of the world isn't there

Em A7

but he kept it all

D D7

()

inside his head

Em A7 D

what he saw, he left unsaid

[Chorus]

C G

if I could tell her

Em D

tell her everything I see

C G

if I could tell her

Em D

how she's everything to me,

C G B7 Em

but we're a million worlds apart

C D

and I don't know how I would even start,

G D C

if I could tell her

Bb Eb

but what do you do, when there's this great divide?

Bb Eb

(Zoey: he just seems so far away...)

Bb F

and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?

(Zoey: it's like I don't know anything)

and how do you say,

I love you

[Outro]

Eb Bb F Gm

but we're a million worlds apart

Eb Bb F

and I don't know how I would even start

Bb F Gm Eb

if I could tell her

Bb F Eb

if I could
