Plain White Ts - Hey There Delilah

This series is from my Chords collection, some of which I collected online, and some of which I figured out with software. Many of the chords may have errors, as they were done when I was just learning to play the guitar and used blogger as a diary. These chords are here in my blog, just as they represent my journey with my guitar. I now upload mostly in the Ultimate Guitar. (Click here to go to my user profile there.)  
INTRO
D, F#m, D, F#m

VERSE 1
D F#m
Hey there Delilah, What’s it like in New York City?
D F#m
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.

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,
D
What you do to me.

VERSE 2
D F#m
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard,
D F#m
But just believe me girl some day, I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
Bm G A Bm
We'll have it good, We'll have the life we knew we would,
A
My word is good.
D F#m
Hey there Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say,
D F#m
If every simple song I wrote to you, Would take your breath away,
Bm G A Bm
I’d write it all, Even more in love with me you’d fall,
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,

Bridge
G A
A thousand miles seems pretty far, But they’ve got planes and 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,
Bm A
The world will never ever be the same, And you’re to blame.

VERSE 3
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,
G A Bm A
Hey there Delilah here's to you, This one’s for you.

FINAL 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,
D
What you do to me.
Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D D
Ohhh
