VERSE 1:
[F#] Hey there Delilah, what's it
[A#m] like in New York City?
I'm a
[F#] thousand miles away, but girl to-
[A#m]-night you look so pretty,
Yes you
[D#m] do,
[/C#]^
[B] Time Square can't
[C#] shine as bright as
[D#m] you,
I swear it's
[C#] true.
VERSE 2:
[F#] Hey there Delilah, don't you
[A#m] worry about the distance,
I'm right
[F#] there if you get lonely, give this
[A#m] song another listen,
Close your
[D#m] eyes,
[/C#]^
[B] listen to my
[C#] voice it's my dis-
[D#m]-guise,
I'm by your
[C#] side.
CHORUS:
[F#] Oh it's what you do to
[/C#]^
[D#m] me,
[F#] Oh it's what you do to
[/C#]^
[D#m] me,
[F#] Oh it's what you do to
[/C#]^
[D#m] me,
[F#] Oh it's what you do to
[/C#]^
[D#m] me,
What you do to
[F#] me.
VERSE 3:
[F#] Hey there Delilah, I know
[A#m] times are getting hard,
But just be-
[F#]-lieve me girl some day, I'll pay the
[A#m] bills with this guitar,
We'll have it
[D#m] good,
[/C#]^
[B] we'll have the
[C#] life we knew we
[D#m] would,
My word is
[C#] good.
VERSE 4:
[F#] Hey there Delilah, I've got
[A#m] so much left to say,
If every
[F#] simple song I wrote to you, would
[A#m] take your breath away,
I'd write it
[D#m] all,
[/C#]^
[B] even more in
[C#] love with me you'd
[D#m] fall,
We'd have it
[C#] all.
REPEAT CHORUS: (drop last line of CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
[B] 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
[D#m] way
[B] 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
[D#m] way,
[B] Delilah I can promise you, that
[C#] by the time that we get through,
The
[D#m] world will never ever be the same, and you're to
[C#] blame.
VERSE 5:
[F#] Hey there Delilah you be
[A#m] good, and don't you miss me,
Two more
[F#] years and you'll be done with school, and
[A#m] I'll be making history,
[D#m] Like I do,
[/C#]^
[B] you'll know it's
[C#] all because of
[D#m] you,
[/C#]^
[B] We can do what-
[C#]-ever we want
[D#m] to,
[/C#]^
[B] Hey there De-
[C#]-lilah here's to
[D#m] you,
This one's for
[C#] you.
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO: Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
