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

OUTRO: Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
