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

OUTRO: Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
