[Verse 1]
E
Where's the light from yesterday?
C#m7 B
When you and I were unafraid
C#m7 B
And lost inside a world we'd made
[Verse 2]
E
Today the air is heavy and grey
C#m7 B
Got a lonely feeling that won't go away
C#m7 B
And I feel like my world's in disarray
[Chorus]
E
So I say, hey Delilah
C#m7 A E
I want to be beside your bed tonight
E
Oh Delilah
C#m7
I can't shake your memory
A
Like a dark cloud following me
C#m7
I want to drop everything and be
E
With my Delilah

So tell me Delilah, where are you now?
C#m7 B
Got to get this message to you somehow
C#m7 B
I need you more than the law should allow
[Verse 4]
E
Don't let too many years and tears go by
C#m7 B
Don't give your heart to some other guy
C#m7 B
I'm going to find you some way, that's no lie
E
Delilah, we've got to be together tonight
[Chorus]
C#m7 A E
Oh Delilah - why did you do me like you've done
C#m7
If I knew where you had gone
A E
I'd drop everything and run to my Delilah, Oh Delilah
[Bridge]
E B E
Am I only fantasizing
B E
when I think that you might still care

A G#7
yes I know you're out there somewhere
