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
