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