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