[D] [F#m]
[D] Hey there Delilah, [F#m] what's it like in New York City?
I'm [D] a thousand miles away, but [F#m] girl, tonight you look so pretty, [Bm] yes you do.
[A] [G] [A] Times Square can't shine as [Bm] bright as you, I [A] swear it's true.
[D]
Hey there Delilah, [F#m] don't you worry about the distance, [D] I'm right there if you get lonely.
[F#m] Give this song another listen, [Bm] close your [A] eyes.
[G] Listen [A] to my voice, it's [Bm] my disguise, I'm [A] by your side.
[D]
Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me.
[D] [Bm] [F#m] [D]
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [F#] Hey [D]
there Delilah, [F#m] I know times are getting hard, but just [D] 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 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 [Bm] write it all.
[A] [G]
Even [A] more in love with me [Bm] you'd fall, we'd [A] have it all.
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me.
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [D] [Bm]
[C#] [D] A [Bm]
[B] [G] thousand miles seems pretty [A] far, but they've got planes and trains and [D] cars, I'd walk to you if I had no [Bm] other way.
[A] [G] Our friends would all make fun of [A] us and we'll just laugh along because [D] we know that none of them [C#] have felt [Bm] this way.
[A] [G] Delilah, I can promise you [A] that by the time we get through, [Bm] the world will never ever be the same, and [A] you're to blame.
[D] Hey there Delilah, you [F#m] be good and don't you miss me.
Two [D] more years and you'll be done with school [F#m] and I'll be making history [Bm] like I do.
[A] [G]
You'll know [A] it's all because [Bm] of you.
[A] [G]
We can do [A] whatever we [Bm] want to.
[D] [G]
Hey there [A] Delilah, [Bm] here's to you.
This [A] one's for you.
[D]
Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me.
