G   D
He said
C
There's nothing like your smile
          G          D          C
Sort of subtle and perfect and real
 G  D
He said
      C
You never knew how wonderful
       G           D           C
That smile could make someone feel

    G   D
And he knew
    C
Whenever you get bored
            G            D                    C
You scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans
          D
And he noticed
           C
That you still fill out the quizzes
           G            D      C
That they put in those teen magazines

        Em     A7               D7
But he kept it all 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

            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
He thought
C  
You looked really pretty, er
C
It looked pretty cool when you put
  G          D              C
Indigo streaks in your hair
    G      D       C   
And he wondered how you learned to dance
              G           D         C
Like all the rest of the world isn't there

        Em     A7     D          D7
But he kept it all 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
But what do you do
                       Eb
When there's this great divide?
         Bb            Eb
He just seemed so far away
                Bb
And what do you do
                          F
When the distance is too wide?

(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

If I could
