[Bridge]
    
A thousand mil

es seems prett

y far
     
But they've go

t planes and t

rains and cars
            
I'd walk to yo

              
u if I had no 

   
other way
       
Our friends wo

uld all make f

un of us
             
And we'd just 

              
laugh along be

            
cause we'd kno

w
              
That none of t

          
hem have felt 

     
this way
    
Delilah, I can

 promise you
     
That by the ti

me that we get

 through
      
The world will

 never ever be

 the same
              
And you're to 

 
blame
