Verse:
DGbm
Hey there Delilah, What’s it like in New York City?
DGbm
I’m a thousand miles away, But girl tonight you look so pretty,
BmGABm
Yes you do, Time Square can’t shine as bright as you,
A
I swear it’s true.
DGbm
Hey there Delilah, Don’t you worry about the distance,
DGbm
I’m right there if you get lonely, Give this song another listen,
BmGABm
Close your eyes, Listen to my voice it’s my disguise,
A
I’m by your side.
Chorus:
DBmDBm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me,
DBmDBm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me,
D
What you do to me.
Verse:
DGbm
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard,
DGbm
But just believe me girl some day, I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
BmGABm
We'll have it good, We'll have the life we knew we would,
A
My word is good.
DGbm
Hey there Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say,
DGbm
If every simple song I wrote to you, Would take your breath away,
BmGABm
I’d write it all, Even more in love with me you’d fall,
A
We’d have it all.
Chorus:
DBmDBm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me,
DBmDBm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me,
Bridge:
GAA thousand miles seems pretty far, But they’ve got planes and trains and cars,
DBm
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
GA
Our friends would all make fun of us, And we'll just laugh along because,
DBm
We know that none of them have felt this way,
GA
Delilah I can promise you, That by the time that we get through,
BmA
The world will never ever be the same, And you’re to blame.
Verse:
DGbm
Hey there Delilah you be good, And don’t you miss me,
DGbm
Two more years and you’ll be done with school, And I'll be making history,
BmGABm
Like I do, You’ll know it's all because of you,
GABm
We can do whatever we want to,
GABmA
Hey there Delilah here's to you, This one’s for you.
Chorus:
DBmDBm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me,
DBmDBm
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me,
D
What you do to me.

Plain White T’s are a pop-punk band formed in 1997 in Illinois, United States. They are best known for “Hey There Delilah”, an acoustic song performed solely by singer Tom Higgenson originally released in 2005 and later hit #1 in the US in 2007.
For over a decade, Plain White T’s have been playing to packed audiences craving for that perfect pop-punk punch. Their journey, which began in a small suburban basement playing covers, has taken the band to Warped Tour three times, and landed them opening slots for bands like Jimmy Eat World and AFI.
