I’m a thousand miles away  But girl tonight you look so pretty

Close your eyes  Listen to my voice it’s my disguise

I’m by your side.

But just believe me girl some day  I ll pay the bills with this guitar

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

We’d have it all.

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

The world will never ever be the same  And you’re to blame.

Two more years and you’ll be done with school  And I ll be making history
