Plain White T's, Hey There Delilah (2005)
Key: :[A] (w: Tom Higgenson)
INTRO: [A] [C#m] [A] [C#m]
VERSE 1:
[A] Hey there Delilah, what's it
[C#m] like in New York City?
I'm a
[A] thousand miles away, but girl to-
[C#m]-night you look so pretty,
Yes you
[F#m] do,
[/E]^
[D] Time Square can't
[E] shine as bright as
[F#m] you,
I swear it's
[E] true.
VERSE 2:
[A] Hey there Delilah, don't you
[C#m] worry about the distance,
I'm right
[A] there if you get lonely, give this
[C#m] song another listen,
Close your
[F#m] eyes,
[/E]^
[D] listen to my
[E] voice it's my dis-
[F#m]-guise,
I'm by your
[E] side.
CHORUS:
[A] Oh it's what you do to
[/E]^
[F#m] me,
[A] Oh it's what you do to
[/E]^
[F#m] me,
[A] Oh it's what you do to
[/E]^
[F#m] me,
[A] Oh it's what you do to
[/E]^
[F#m] me,
What you do to
[A] me.
VERSE 3:
[A] Hey there Delilah, I know
[C#m] times are getting hard,
But just be-
[A]-lieve me girl some day, I'll pay the
[C#m] bills with this guitar,
We'll have it
[F#m] good,
[/E]^
[D] we'll have the
[E] life we knew we
[F#m] would,
My word is
[E] good.
VERSE 4:
[A] Hey there Delilah, I've got
[C#m] so much left to say,
If every
[A] simple song I wrote to you, would
[C#m] take your breath away,
I'd write it
[F#m] all,
[/E]^
[D] even more in
[E] love with me you'd
[F#m] fall,
We'd have it
[E] all.
REPEAT CHORUS: (drop last line of CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
[D] A thousand miles seems pretty far, but
[E] they've got planes and trains and cars,
[A] I'd walk to you if I had no other
[F#m] way
[D] Our friends would all make fun of us, and
[E] we'll just laugh along because,
We
[A] know that none of them have felt this
[F#m] way,
[D] Delilah I can promise you, that
[E] by the time that we get through,
The
[F#m] world will never ever be the same, and you're to
[E] blame.
VERSE 5:
[A] Hey there Delilah you be
[C#m] good, and don't you miss me,
Two more
[A] years and you'll be done with school, and
[C#m] I'll be making history,
[F#m] Like I do,
[/E]^
[D] you'll know it's
[E] all because of
[F#m] you,
[/E]^
[D] We can do what-
[E]-ever we want
[F#m] to,
[/E]^
[D] Hey there De-
[E]-lilah here's to
[F#m] you,
This one's for
[E] you.

OUTRO: Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
