[Start]

[Verse]
E                     A      
■ He thought you were awesome
                         B E         
He thought I was awesome ■ My brother
           A  
Definitely How
     B E      
Well ■ he said
A                              
There's nothing like your smile
B       E                      A   
Sort of subtle and perfect and real
E      
He said
A                  B        
You never knew how wonderful
E                     A           
That smile could make someone feel
E          
And he knew
         A            
Whenever you get bored
B            E                          A    
You scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans
E             
And he noticed
                            A      
That you still fill out the quizzes
B         E                 A        
That they put in those teen magazines


[Chorus]
       C#m  C#m7 F#sus4 B      A   E   
But he kept it   all    inside his head
        C#m7   F#sus4 B     
What he saw he left   unsaid
           A           
And though he wanted to
            E          
He couldn't talk to you
                     F#m7
He couldn't find the way 
             B      B7 
But he would always say
B            A    E  
■ If I could tell her
                      B  
Tell her everything I see
           A    E  
If I could tell her
                        B 
How she's everything to me
A           E       Emaj7  C#m7 
But we're a million worlds apart
    F#m7                               Bsus4
And ■    I don't know how I would even start
           E    F#m7 A
If I could tell her  ■
           E    F#m7
If I could tell her 
A Esus4 A E
■ ■     ■ ■


[Verse]
       E                
Did he say anything else
A          
■ About you
B                         E           
Never mind I don't really care anyways
                                    E             
No no no just no no he said he said so many things
                                    A              
I'm just I'm trying to remember the best ones so um
E         
He thought
A                        A 
You looked really pretty er
                           B       E                      A   
It looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair
   A  
He did
E                 A                       
■ And he wondered how you learned to dance
             E                 A          
Like all the rest of the world isn't there


[Chorus]
       C#m7    F#7 B      A   E   
But he kept it all inside his head
        C#m7   F#sus4 Bsus4 
What he saw he left   unsaid
     B     A    E  
If I could tell her
     C#m7             B  
Tell her everything I see
           A    E  
If I could tell her
    C#m7                B 
How she's everything to me
A           E              B     C#m7
But we're a million worlds apart ■   
                       F#m7       Bsus4 B
And I don't know how I would even start ■
           E    F#m7 A Esus4
If I could tell her  ■ ■    
Bm7        C       
If I could tell her
                G       D                  C     
But what do you do when there's this great divide
        D             C   
He just seemed so far away
                G           E           D       
And what do you do when the distance is too wide
D                              
It's like I don't know anything
D                 
And how do you say
C      D  
I love you
  C       
I love you
  C       
I love you


[Outro]
  C       
I love you
    G     G B7             E     Em7
But we're a million worlds apart ■  
Am7                                         Dsus4
■   And I don't know how I would even start ■    
D    G          Am7 C
If I could tell her ■
   G   Am7   C
If ■ I could ■
