Dear Evan Hansen
If I Could Tell Her
Capo 4
[Intro]
C G F
C G F
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-chorus]
Am D
but he kept it all
G C
inside his head
Am D 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,
G7
but he would always say,
[Chorus]
F C
if i could tell her
Am G
tell her everything i see
F C
if i could tell her
Am G
how she's everything to me,
F C G E7 Am
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
[Interlude]
C G F
C G F
[Verse 2]
C G
He thought
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
[Pre-chorus]
Am D
but he kept it all
G C
inside his head
Am D G
what he saw, he left unsaid
[Chorus]
F C
if i could tell her
Am G
tell her everything i see
F C
if i could tell her
Am G
how she's everything to me,
F C G E7 Am
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
G# D# A# Cm
but we're a million worlds apart
G# D# A#
and i don't know how i would even start
D# A# Cm G#
if i could tell her
D# A# G#
if i could
