[INTRO] G
evan:
G D
he said
C
there's nothing like your smile, sort of
G D C
subtle, and perfect and real
G D
he said,
C
you never knew how wonderful that
G D C
smile could make someone feel
G D
and he knew
C
whenever you get bored you'd scribble
G D C
stars on the cuffs of your jeans
G D
and he noticed
C
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
C
and though he wanted to,
G
he couldn't talk to you,
D
he couldn't find the way,
D7
but he would always say,
[Chorus]
C G
if i could tell her
D (D7)
tell her everything i see
C G
if i could tell her
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
G D C
G D C
G D
he thought
C
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
C
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
G D C
indigo streaks in your hair
G D
and he wondered
C
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
C G
if i could tell her
D (D7)
tell her everything i see
C G
if i could tell her
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
Eb
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)
Bb
and how do you say,
Eb
i love you
Eb
i love you
Eb
i love you
Eb
i love you
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
