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

OUTRO: Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
