Gtp chords: Hey There Delilah
Song lyrics:
VERSE 1:
D Bm
Hey there Delilah, What’s it like in New York City?
D Bm
I’m a thousand miles away, But girl tonight you look so pretty,
G A Bm A
Yes you do, Time Square can’t shine as bright as you,
I swear it’s true.
D Bm
Hey there Delilah, Don’t you worry about the distance,
D Bm
I’m right there if you get lonely, Give this song another listen,
G A Bm A
Close your eyes, Listen to my voice it’s my disguise,
I’m by your side.
CHORUS:
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,
What you do to me.
VERSE 2:
D Bm
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard,
D Bm
But just believe me girl some day, I'll pay the bills
with this guitar,
G A Bm A
We'll have it good, We'll have the life we knew we would,
My word is good.
D Bm
Hey there Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say,
D Bm
If every simple song I wrote to you, Would take your breath away,
G A
I’d write it all, Even more in love with me you’d fall,
Bm A
We’d have it all.
CHORUS:
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,
What you do to me.
BRIDGE:
G A
A thousand miles seems pretty far, But they’ve got planes,
trains and cars,
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,
D Bm A
The world will never ever be the same ..... And you’re to blame!
VERSE 3:
D Bm
Hey there Delilah you be good, And don’t you miss me,
D Bm
Two more years and you’ll be done with school,
And I'll be making history,
G A Bm
Like I do, You’ll know it's all because of you,
G A Bm
We can do whatever we want to
G A Bm A
Hey there Delilah here's to you, This one’s for you.
CHORUS
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,
What you do to me.
