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

how you learned to dance like all the
E B A
rest of the world isn't there
