Intro -x2-: E B A

Verse 1:
E   B
he said
A
there's nothing like your smile, sort of
  E           B          A
subtle, and perfect and real
 E   B
he said,
      A
you never knew how wonderful that 
  E           B           A
smile could make someone feel
    E   B
and he knew
    A
whenever you get bored you'd scribble 
     E            B             A
stars on the cuffs of your jeans
    E     B
and he noticed
           A
that you still fill out the quizzes that they
 E            B      A
put in those teen magazines

Pre-Chorus:
        Dbm     Gb
but he kept it all
   B        E
inside his head
         Dbm     Gb    B
what he saw, he left unsaid
                A
and though he wanted to,
             E
he couldn't talk to you,
                     B
he couldn't find the way,
                     B7
but he would always say,

Chorus:
            A    E
if I could tell her
          Dbm          B
tell her everything I see
             A   E
if I could tell her
           Dbm          B
how she's everything to me,

      A       E       Ab7   Dbm
but we're a million worlds apart
    A                              B
and I don't know how I would even start,
             E     B    A
If I could tell her
             E     B    A
if I could tell her

Interlude -x2-: E B A

Verse 2:
 E   B
He  thought
A
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
A
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
  E          B             A
indigo streaks in your hair
    E      B
and he wondered
   A
how you learned to dance like all the 
 E           B         A
rest of the world isn't there

Pre-Chorus:
        Dbm     Gb
but he kept it all
   B        E
inside his head
         Dbm     Gb    B
what he saw, he left unsaid

Chorus:
            A    E
if I could tell her
          Dbm          B
tell her everything I see
             A   E
if I could tell her
           Dbm          B
how she's everything to me,
      A       E       Ab7   Dbm
but we're a million worlds apart
    A                              B
and I don't know how I would even start,
             E     B    A
if I could tell her

Bridge:
            C
if I could tell her
                G                         C
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
                G           C
-zoey: he just seems so far away...-
                G                            D
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?

-zoey: it's like I don't know anything-
     G
and how do you say,
   C
I love you
   C
I love you
   C
I love you
   C
I love you

Outro:
      C       G     D     Em
but we're a million worlds apart
     C              G            D
and I don't know how I would even start
            G    D  Em  C
if I could tell her
       G   D   C
if I could
