                 Am   G   F
tattered on the ends
              G                Am
And I wonder when we’ll meet again
                   G

[Bridge]
   F                                G
I know a thousand miles is far, so thank god for those late
                  C                             Am
night calls and letters that you write me every day
     F                                   G
And yeah our friends make fun of us, but we can laugh along
            C                                 Am
because we know our love is strong enough to stay
 F                           G
Baby I can promise you the first time I laid eyes on you
   C
I knew my world would never be the same
                G
and you’re to blame


[Verse 3]
C                          Em
Hey it’s Delilah thinkin’ bout you from the city
            C                             Em
And I’m counting down the days until I’ve got you right
                    Am    G    F
here with me by my side
       G                 Am    G    F
But until then I’ll close my eyes

            G               Am   G   F
And dream about you every night
               G              C
I’ll love you from New York tonight
