[INTRO] G G

evan:
G G D D
he said
C C
there's nothing like your smile, sort of
G G D D C C
subtle, and perfect and real
G G D D
he said,
C C
you never knew how wonderful that
G G D D C C
smile could make someone feel

G G D D
and he knew
C C
whenever you get bored you'd scribble
G G D D C C
stars on the cuffs of your jeans
G G D D
and he noticed
C C
that you still fill out the quizzes that they
G G D D C C
put in those teen magazines

Em Em A7 A7
but he kept it all
D D (D7 D7)
inside his head
Em Em A7 A7 D D
what he saw, he left unsaid
C C
and though he wanted to,
G G
he couldn't talk to you,
D D
he couldn't find the way,
D7 D7
but he would always say,

[Chorus]
C C G G
if i could tell her
D D (D7 D7)
tell her everything i see
C C G G
if i could tell her
D D
how she's everything to me,

C C G G B7 B7 Em Em
but we're a million worlds apart
C C D D
and i don't know how i would even start,
G G D D C C
if i could tell her
G G D D C C
if i could tell her

G G D D C C
G G D D C C

G G D D
he thought
C C
you looked really pretty- eh erm,
C C
it looked pretty COOL, when you put
G G D D C C
indigo streaks in your hair
G G D D
and he wondered
C C
how you learned to dance like all the
G G D D C C
rest of the world isn't there

Em Em A7 A7
but he kept it all
D D (D7 D7)
inside his head
Em Em A7 A7 D D
what he saw, he left unsaid

C C G G
if i could tell her
D D (D7 D7)
tell her everything i see
C C G G
if i could tell her
D D
how she's everything to me,
C C G G B7 B7 Em Em
but we're a million worlds apart
C C D D
and i don't know how i would even start,
G G D D C C
if i could tell her

Eb Eb
if i could tell her
Bb Bb Eb Eb
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
Bb Bb Eb Eb
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)
Bb Bb F F
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?

(zoey: it's like i don't know anything)
Bb Bb
and how do you say,
Eb Eb
i love you
Eb Eb
i love you
Eb Eb
i love you
Eb Eb
i love you

Eb Eb Bb Bb F F Gm Gm
but we're a million worlds apart
Eb Eb Bb Bb F F
and i don't know how i would even start
Bb Bb F F Gm Gm Eb Eb
if i could tell her
Bb Bb F F Eb Eb
if i could

So the strumming pattern listed at the beginning doesn't make sense to me, so can someone explain please?

There's a lot of questionable chord choices for this song, but instead of [D7] when it says "but he kept it all inside his head", I've found it way more pleasing to the ear to replace it with [G].
Also, when it says "If I could tell her, tell her everything I see", do [C], [G], [Em], [D] instead of the chords that are written down.
The bridge also doesn't sound 100% right, but I'll test with that another day and come back.
Hope this helped!
