HEY THERE DELILAH – Plain White Ts
INTRO
[F] [Am] [F] [Am]
[F] Hey there Delilah, what’s it [Am] like in New York City?
I’m a [F] thousand miles away, but girl [Am] tonight you look so pretty
Yes you [Dm] do [Dm]…[Bb] Times Square can’t [C] shine as bright as [Dm] you
[Dm] I swear it’s [C] true [C]
[F] Hey there Delilah, don’t you [Am] worry about the distance,
I’m right [F] there if you get lonely, give this [Am] song another listen
Close your [Dm] eyes [Dm]…[Bb] listen to my [C] voice it’s my [Dm] disguise
[Dm] I’m by your [C] side [C]
CHORUS
[F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm], [F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm]
[F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm], [F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me
[Dm] What you do to [F] me [F]
[F] Hey there Delilah, I know [Am] times are getting hard,
But just [F] believe me girl some day, I'll pay the [Am] bills with this guitar,
We'll have it [Dm] good [Dm]…[Bb] we'll have the [C] life we knew we [Dm] would
[Dm] My word is [C] good [C]
[F] Hey there Delilah, I’ve got [Am] so much left to say
If every [F] simple song I wrote to you, would [Am] take your breath away
I’d write it [Dm] all [Dm], [Bb] even more in [C] love with me you’d [Dm] fall
[Dm] We’d have it [C] all [C]
CHORUS
[F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm], [F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm]
[F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm], [F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm]
Bridge
[Bb] 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 [Dm] way [Dm]
[Bb] 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 [Dm] way [Dm]
[Bb] Delilah I can promise you, that [C] by the time that we get through
The [Dm] world will never ever be the [Dm] same and you’re to [C] blame [C] [C] [C]
[F] Hey there Delilah you be [Am] good, and don’t you miss me
Two more [F] years and you’ll be done with school, and [Am] I'll be making history
Like I [Dm] do [Dm]…[Bb] you’ll know it's [C] all because of [Dm] you [Dm]
[Bb] We can do [C] whatever we want [Dm] to [Dm]
[Bb] Hey there [C] Delilah here's to [Dm] you, [Dm] This one’s for [C] you [C] [C] [C]
CHORUS
[F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm], [F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm]
[F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me [Dm], [F] Oh it’s what you do to [Dm] me
[Dm] What you do to [F] me [F]
[Dm] [F] [Dm] [F] [Dm] [F] [Dm] [F] [F]
