Misc Musicals – Dear Evan Hansen - If I Could Tell Her (Guitar)

G   D
he said

C
there's nothing like your smile, sort of

  G           D          C
subtle, and perfect and real

 G   D
he said,

      C
you never knew how wonderful that

  G           D           C
smile could make someone feel

    G   D
and he knew

    C
whenever you get bored you'd scribble

     G            D             C
stars on the cuffs of your jeans

    G     D
and he noticed

           C
that you still fill out the quizzes that they

 G            D      C
put in those teen magazines

        Em     A7
but he kept it all

   D        (D7)
inside his head

         Em      A7    D
what he saw, he left unsaid

                C
and though he wanted to,

             G
he couldn't talk to you,

                     D
he couldn't find the way,

                     D7
but he would always say,

            C    G
if I could tell her

             Em       D
tell her everything I see

             C   G
if I could tell her

               Em       D
how she's everything to me,

      C       G       B7    Em
but we're a million worlds apart

    C                              D
and I don't know how I would even start,

             G     D    C
if I could tell her

             G     D    C
if I could tell her

 G   D
he  thought

C
you looked really pretty- eh erm,

C
it looked pretty COOL, when you put

  G          D             C
indigo streaks in your hair

    G      D
and he wondered

   C
how you learned to dance like all the

 G           D         C
rest of the world isn't there

        Em     A7
but he kept it all

   D         (D7)
inside his head

         Em      A7     D
what he saw, he left unsaid

             C   G
if I could tell her

             Em        D
tell her everything I see

             C   G
if I could tell her

            Em          D
how she's everything to me,

      C       G       B7     Em
but we're a million worlds apart

    C                              D
and I don't know how I would even start,

             G     D    C
if I could tell her

            Eb
if I could tell her

                Bb                         Eb
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?

                Bb           Eb
(Zoey: he just seems so far away...)

                Bb                            F
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?

     Bb
and how do you say,

   Eb
I love you

   Eb
I love you

   Eb
I love you

   Eb
I love you

      Eb       Bb     F     Gm
but we're a million worlds apart

     Eb              Bb            F
and I don't know how I would even start

            Bb    F  Gm  Eb
if I could tell her

       Bb   F   Eb
