Hey there Delilah

What's it like in New York City?        
          D5        
I'm a thousand miles away

Times Square can't shine as bright as you

I swear it's true

I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes        
G                   A                    Bm        
Listen to my voice it's my disguise        
                      A        
I'm by your side        

D5                                    Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me

Hey there Delilah        
               F#m        
I know times are getting hard        
                D5        
But just believe me girl        
                                         F#m        
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar        
                          Bm                
We'll have it good        
G                     A                           Bm        
We'll have the life we knew we would        
                       A        
My word is good        


D5        
Hey there Delilah        
               F#m        
I've got so much left to say        
               D5        
If every simple song I wrote to you        
             F#m        
Would take your breath away        
                 Bm            
I'd write it all        
 G                      A                         Bm        
Even more in love with me you'd fall        
                         A        
We'd have it all        

D5                                    Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        
D5                                    Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        
D5                                    Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        
D5                                    Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        

G                                           
A thousand miles seems pretty far        
A                                          
But they've got planes and trains and cars        
 D                                              Bm     
I'd walk to you if I had no other way        
G                                                
Our friends would all make fun of us        
        A                                                         D5     
and we'll just laugh along because we know        
                                                    Bm        
That none of them have felt this way        
G                         
Delilah I can promise you        
A                                          
That by the time we get through        
D5                                                 Bm                                                       
The world will never ever be the same        
                           A        
And you're to blame        


D5        
Hey there Delilah        
                F#m        
You be good and don't you miss me        
                      D5        
Two more years and you'll be done with school         
         F#m                                       Bm             
And I'll be making history like I do        
G                         A                           Bm               
You know it's all because of you        
G                           A                           Bm                  
We can do whatever we want to        
G                     A                            Bm        
Hey there Delilah here's to you        
                            A        
This ones for you        

D5                                       Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        
D 5                                      Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        
D5                                       Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        
D5                                       Bm        
Oh it's what you do to me        
                            D5        
What you do to me.
