Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

Printable Version


Tabbed by: Tup

Picking in this song is mainly the 2nd and 5th string for each chord with a little
variation.

Capo: 2nd fret

INTRO:  [C]  [Em]  [C]  [Em]

[C]Hey there Delilah,
What’s it like [Em]in New York City? 
I’m a [C]thousand miles away, 
But girl to[Em]night you look so pretty, 
Yes you do, [Am]
[F]Time Square can’t shine as bright as you,[Am] 
I swear it’s [G]true. 

[C]Hey there Delilah, 
Don’t you [Em]worry about the distance, 
I’m right [C]there if you get lonely, 
Give this [Em]song another listen, 
Close your [Am]eyes, 
[F]Listen to my voice it’s my dis[Am]guise
I’m by your [G]side

CHORUS:
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me (x4)
                    
[C]What you do to me. 

[C]Hey there Delilah, 
I know [Em]times are getting hard, 
But just be[C]lieve me girl some day
I'll pay the [Em]bills with this guitar
We'll have it [Am]good
[F]We'll have the life we knew we [Am]would
My word is [G]good

[C]Hey there Delilah, 
I’ve got [Em]so much left to say
If every [C]simple song I wrote to you, 
Would [Em]take your breath away, 
I’d write it [Am]all
[F]Even more in love with me you’d [Am]fall
We’d have it [G]all

CHORUS

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

[C]Hey there Delilah you be good, And [Em]don’t you miss me, 
Two more years [C]and you’ll be done with school, 
And [Em]I'll be making history, 
Like I [Am]do, 
[F]You’ll know it's all because of [Am]you
We can do whatever we want to,
[F]Hey there Delilah here's to [Am]you, 
This one’s for [G]you. 

CHORUS

What you do to me
