If I Could Tell Her chords by Dear Evan Hansen

INTRO: G

evan:
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,


Chorus:
      C  G
if i could tell her
       D    (D7)
tell her everything i see
       C  G
if i could tell her
        D
that 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 C
G D C


 G  D
he said
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
       D    (D7)
tell her everything i see
       C  G
if i could tell her
      D
that 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?


(zoey: it’s like i don’t know anything)
   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
