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