If I Could Tell Her (from Dear Evan Hansen)

(E5)He said there's (A5)nothing like your smile

Sort of (E5)subtle and perfect and real

(E5)He said you (A5)never knew how wonderful that (E5)smile could make someone (A5)feel

And (E5)he knew

(A5)whenever you get bored you scribble (E5)stars on the cuffs of your jeans

(A5)And (E5)he noticed that you (A5)still fill out the quizzes that they (E5)put in those teen magazines

(A5)But he kept

(C#m7)it all (F#7)(B)inside (A)his

(E)head What he saw

(C#m7)he (F#7)left (B)unsaid

And though he (A)wanted to

he couldn't (E)talk to you

He couldn't find a (F#m11)way

(F#m11)But he would always (B)say:

(B)"If I could (A)tell her

(E)Tell her (C#m)ev'rything I (B)see

If I could (A)tell her

(E)how she's (C#m)ev'rything to (B)me

But (A)we're a (E)million (B)worlds (G#)(C#m)apart

and (F#m7)I don't know how I would even (B7sus)start

If I could (E)tell her

(Asus2)If I could (E)tell her"

(E5)He thought (A5)you looked really pretty

Err... It looked pretty cool when you put (E5)indigo streaks in your hair

(A5)And (E5)he wondered how (Asus2)you learned to dance like all the (E5)rest of the world isn't (Asus2)there

But he kept

(C#m7)it all (F#7)(B)inside (A)his

(E)head What he saw,

(C#m7)he (F#7)left (B)unsaid

"If I could if I could (C)tell her"

But whaddaya do

(G)When (D)there's this great (C)divide?

He just (D)seemed so far (C)away...

And whaddaya do

(G)when the (Em)distance is too (Dsus)wide?

It's like I don't know anything And how do you say

"I (Csus2)love you?

(Csus2)I love you

(Csus2)I love you"

(Csus2)I love you
