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

OUTRO: Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
