I’m a thousand miles away but girl tonight you look so pretty
Bm G A Bm
Yes you do, Time Square can’t shine as bright as you
A
I swear it’s true
D F#m
Hey there Delilah don’t you worry about the distance
D F#m
I’m right there if you get lonely give this song another listen
Bm G A Bm
Close your eyes, listen to my voice it’s my disguise
A
I’m by your side
D Bm D Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me
D Bm D Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me

D F#m
Hey there Delilah I’ve got so much left to say

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

Like I do, you’ll know it's all because of you
G A Bm
We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Delilah here's to you, this one’s for you
