E5 E5/B A5
[Verse]
E5 E5/B
He said
A5
There's nothing like your smile, sort of
E5 E5/B A5
Subtle, and perfect, and real
E5 E5/B
He said,
A5
You never knew how wonderful that
E5 E5/B A5
Smile could make someone feel
E5 E5/B
And he knew
A5
Whenever you get bored you'd scribble
E5 E5/B A5
Stars on the cuffs of your jeans
E5 E5/B
And he noticed
A5
That you still fill out the quizzes that they
E5 E5/B A5
Put in those teen magazines
[Pre-chorus]
C#m F#7
But he kept it all
B A E/G#
Inside his head
C#m F#7 Bsus B
What he saw, he left unsaid
A
And though he wanted to,
E/G#
He couldn't talk to you,
F#m
He couldn't find the way,
B
But he would always say,
[Chorus]
A E
If I could tell her
C#m B
Tell her everything I see
A E
If I could tell her
C#m B
How she's everything to me,
A E B G# C#m
But we're a million worlds apart
F#m B
And I don't know how I would even start,
E Asus2
If I could tell her
E Asus2
If I could tell her
[Interlude]

E5 E5/B A5
[Verse 2]
E5 E5/B
He thought
A5
You looked really pretty, er—
A5
It looked pretty cool when you put
E5 E5/B A5
indigo streaks in your hair
E5 E5/B
And he wondered
A5
how you learned to dance like all the
E5 E5/B A5
rest of the world isn't there
[Pre-chorus]
C#m F#7
But he kept it all
B A E/G#
Inside his head
C#m F#7 Bsus B
What he saw, he left unsaid
A
And though he wanted to,
E/G#
He couldn't talk to you,
F#m
He couldn't find the way,
B
But he would always say,
[Chorus]
A E
If I could tell her
C#m B
Tell her everything I see
A E
If I could tell her
C#m B
How she's everything to me,
A E B G# C#m
But we're a million worlds apart
F#m B
And I don't know how I would even start,
E Asus2
If I could tell her
E Asus2
If I could tell her
[Bridge]
C(add2)
If I could tell her
G D C(add2)
But what do you do, when there's this great divide?
[Zoe]
D C(add2)
He just seemed so far away...
[Evan]
G Em7 D
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?
[Zoe]
Dsus D
It's like I don't know anything
[Evan]
D
and how do you say,
Csus2
I love you
Csus2
I love you
Csus2
I love you
Csus2
I love you
[Outro]

If I could tell her
