how you learned to dance like all the

"if i could tell her

tell her everything i see

if i could tell her

if i could tell her"

(KEY CHANGE)
      C majorC
if i could tell her
        G+G             C majorC
but what do you do, when there's this great divide?
        G+G      C majorC
(zoey: he just seems so far away...)
        G+G              D MajorD
and what do you do, when the distance is too wide?

(zoey: it's like i don't know anything)
   G+G
and how do you say,
  C majorC
i love you
  C majorC
i love you
  C majorC
i love you
  C majorC
i love you

   C majorC    G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm
but we're a million worlds apart
   C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
