Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]He thought you[G] were awe[F]some
He thought I was [G]awesome?
[C]My brother? [G]Definitely!
[F]How? [G]Well,

[Verse 1]
[C]He [G]said
There's [F]nothing like your smile
[G]Sort of [C]subtle
and [G]perfect and [F]real[G]
[C]He [G]said
You [F]never knew how wonderful
[G]That [C]smile could [G]make
some[F]one [G]feel
And [C]he [G]knew
When[F]ever you get bored
You [G]scribble [C]stars on the [G]cuffs
of your [F]jeans[G]
And [C]he [G]noticed
That you [F]still fill out the quizzes
[G]That they [C]put in those
[G]teen magazin[F]es[G]

[Pre-chorus 1]
But he [Am]kept it [D]all
[G]inside [F]his hea[C]d
What he [Am]saw he l[D]eft [G]un said
And though he [F]wanted to
He couldn't [C]talk to you
He couldn't find the [Dm]way
But he would al[G]ways say

[Chorus 1]
If I could [F]tell [C]her
Tell her [Am]everything I [G]see
If I could [F]tell [C]her
How she's [Am]everything to [G]me
But [F]we're a [C]million [G]worlds [E]apart[Am]
[Dm]And I don't know how I would even [G]start
If I could [C]tell [Dm]her[F]
If I could [C]tell [Dm]her[F]

[Interlude 1]
[C]Did he say any[G]thing else?
[F]Uh, about you?
Never mind, [G]I don't really care anyways
[C]No, no, no just, no, no he said, he said
[G]so many things
I'm just, I'm trying to remember
the [F]best ones so, [G]um

[Verse 2]
[C]He [G]thought
[F]You looked really pretty, er
[F]It looked pretty cool
when [G]you put [C]indigo [G]streaks in your hair
[F]He did[G]?
And [C]he [G]wondered [F]how you learned to dance
Like all [G]the [C]rest of the [G]world [F]isn't there

[Pre-chorus 2]
But he [Am]kept it [D]all
[G]inside [F]his hea[C]d
What he [Am]saw he l[D]eft [G]un said

[Chorus 2]
If I could [F]tell [C]her
Tell her [Am]everything I [G]see
If I could [F]tell [C]her
How she's [Am]everything to [G]me
But [F]we're a [C]million [G]worlds [E]apart[Am]
[Dm]And I don't know how I would even [G]start
If I could [C]tell [Dm]her[F]

[Bridge 1]
If I could [Ab]tell her
But what do you [Eb]do
when [Bb]there's this [Ab]great divide?
He just [Bb]seemed so far a[Ab]way
And what do you [Eb]do
when the [Cm]distance is [Bb]too wide?
It's like I don't know anything
And how do you say I [Ab]love you
I love you, I love you
I love you

[Outro 1]
But [Ab]we're a [Eb]million [G]worlds a[Cm]part
[Fm]And I don't know how I would even [Bb]start
If I could [Eb]tell [Fm]her[Ab]
If [Eb]I cou[Fm]ld[Ab]
