[A] [G] Times [A] Square can't shine as [Bm] bright as you.
I swear [A] it's true
[D] Hey there Delilah, don't [F#m] you worry about the distance
I'm [D] right there if you get lonely give [F#m] this song another listen [Bm] close your eyes

[F#m] [D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me
[F#m] [D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me [F#m] what you [D] do to me
Hey there Delilah, I [F#m] know times are getting hard but [D] just believe me girl someday
I'll [F#m] pay the bills with this guitar.
We'll [Bm] have it good
[A] [G] We'll [A] have the life we [Bm] knew we [G] would
My [A] word is good
[D] Hey there Delilah, [F#m] I've got so much left to say if [D] every simple song I wrote to [F#m] you would take your breath away

I'd walk to you if I had no [Bm] other way
[D] [G] Our friends would all make fun of [A] us and we'll just laugh along because [D] we know that [Bm] none of them have felt this [D] way
[G] Delilah, I can promise [A] you that by the time we get [Bm] through the world we'll never ever be the same
And [A] you're to blame
[D] Hey
Hey there Delilah, [F#m] you'll be good and don't you miss me [D] two more years and you'll be done with [F#m] school and i'll be making
history [Bm] like I do
[A] [G] You'll [A] know it's all [Bm] because of you
