INTRO: [F] [Am] [F] [Am]
VERSE 1:
[F] Hey there Delilah, what's it
[Am] like in New York City?
I'm a
[F] thousand miles away, but girl to-
[Am]-night you look so pretty,
Yes you
[Dm] do,
[/C]^
[A#] Time Square can't
[C] shine as bright as
[Dm] you,
I swear it's
[C] true.
VERSE 2:
[F] Hey there Delilah, don't you
[Am] worry about the distance,
I'm right
[F] there if you get lonely, give this
[Am] song another listen,
Close your
[Dm] eyes,
[/C]^
[A#] listen to my
[C] voice it's my dis-
[Dm]-guise,
I'm by your
[C] side.
CHORUS:
[F] Oh it's what you do to
[/C]^
[Dm] me,
[F] Oh it's what you do to
[/C]^
[Dm] me,
[F] Oh it's what you do to
[/C]^
[Dm] me,
[F] Oh it's what you do to
[/C]^
[Dm] me,
What you do to
[F] me.
VERSE 3:
[F] Hey there Delilah, I know
[Am] times are getting hard,
But just be-
[F]-lieve me girl some day, I'll pay the
[Am] bills with this guitar,
We'll have it
[Dm] good,
[/C]^
[A#] we'll have the
[C] life we knew we
[Dm] would,
My word is
[C] good.
VERSE 4:
[F] Hey there Delilah, I've got
[Am] so much left to say,
If every
[F] simple song I wrote to you, would
[Am] take your breath away,
I'd write it
[Dm] all,
[/C]^
[A#] even more in
[C] love with me you'd
[Dm] fall,
We'd have it
[C] all.
REPEAT CHORUS: (drop last line of CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
[A#] A thousand miles seems pretty far, but
[C] they've got planes and trains and cars,
[F] I'd walk to you if I had no other
[Dm] way
[A#] Our friends would all make fun of us, and
[C] we'll just laugh along because,
We
[F] know that none of them have felt this
[Dm] way,
[A#] Delilah I can promise you, that
[C] by the time that we get through,
The
[Dm] world will never ever be the same, and you're to
[C] blame.
VERSE 5:
[F] Hey there Delilah you be
[Am] good, and don't you miss me,
Two more
[F] years and you'll be done with school, and
[Am] I'll be making history,
[Dm] Like I do,
[/C]^
[A#] you'll know it's
[C] all because of
[Dm] you,
[/C]^
[A#] We can do what-
[C]-ever we want
[Dm] to,
[/C]^
[A#] Hey there De-
[C]-lilah here's to
[Dm] you,
This one's for
[C] you.
