[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       E7    Am  
but we're a million worlds apart
    F                              G    
and I don't know how I would even start,
             C     GF
If I could tell her
             C     GF
if I could tell her

[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       E7    Am  
but we're a million worlds apart
    F                              G    
and I don't know how I would even start,
             C     GF
if I could tell her

[Bridge]
            Ab     
if I could tell her
                Eb                         Ab      
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
                Eb           Ab     
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)
                Eb                            Bb  
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?
(zoey: it's like I don't know anything)
     Eb            
and how do you say,
   Ab     
I love you
   Ab     
I love you
   Ab     
I love you
   Ab     
I love you

[Outro]
      Ab       Eb     Bb     Cm 
but we're a million worlds apart
     Ab              Eb            Bb  
and I don't know how I would even start
            Eb    Bb Cm Ab
if I could tell her
       Eb Bb Ab
if I could
