Hey there Delilah Plain White T's


Intro: / C - - - / Em - - - / x2

C          
   Hey there Delilah,
              Em
What’s it like in New York City?
           C                
I’m a thousand miles away,
                 Em
But girl tonight you look so pretty,
           / Am - - Am/G /
Yes you do,
F (½)                        G (½)                  Am
Time Square can’t shine as bright as you,
                  G
I swear it’s true 

C      
  Hey there Delilah,
                Em
Don’t you worry about the distance,
                C                
I’m right there if you get lonely,
                Em
Give this song another listen,
               / Am - - Am/G /
Close your eyes,
F (½)                  G (½)               Am
    Listen to my voice it’s my disguise,
                   G
I’m by your side.

Chorus:
/ C - - C/G /            / Am - - Am/B /              
Oh it’s what you do to me,
/ C - - C/G /            / Am - - Am/B /
Oh it’s what you do to me,
/ C - - C/G /            / Am - - Am/B /
Oh it’s what you do to me,
/ C - - C/G /            / Am - - Am/B /
Oh it’s what you do to me,       What you do to me.

/ C - - C/G /

C
   Hey there Delilah,
           Em
I know times are getting hard,
                C                
But just believe me girl some day,
                 Em
I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
                  / Am - - Am/G /
We'll have it good,
F (½)                G (½)                 Am
We'll have the life we knew we would,
                   G
My word is good.

C
   Hey there Delilah,
           Em
I’ve got so much left to say,
              C
If every simple song I wrote to you,
           Em
Would take your breath away,
               / Am - - Am/G /
I’d write it all,
F (½)                  G (½)                      Am
   Even more in love with me you’d fall,
                   G
We’d have it all.

Chorus

Bridge:
       F
A thousand miles seems pretty far,
         G
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars,
      / C - - C/G /                     / Am - - Am/G /              
I’d walk to you if I had no other way,
          F
Our friends would all make fun of us,
         G
And we'll just laugh along because,
      / C - - C/G /                                   / Am - - Am/G /              
We know that none of them have felt this way,
      F
Delilah I can promise you,
        G
That by the time we get through,
         Am (2)
The world will never ever be the same,
                      G (2)
And you’re to blame.

C                                  
   Hey there Delilah you be
Em
good, and don’t you miss me,
                 C                             
Two more years and you’ll be done with school,
      Em
And I'll be making history,
        / Am - - Am/G /
Like I do,
F (½)                   G (½)           / Am - - Am/G /              
  You’ll know it's all because of you,
F (½)                   G (½)        / Am - - Am/G /                                          
   We can do whatever we want to,
F (½)             G (½)               Am
Hey there Delilah here's to you,
G (2)                         
This one’s for you.

Chorus

End on C
