[Intro] C Em C Em [Verse] C Hey there Delilah, Em What’s it like in New York City? C I’m a thousand miles away, Em But girl tonight you look so pretty, Am G Yes you do, F G Time Square can’t shine as Am bright as you, G I swear it’s true. C Hey there Delilah, Em Don’t you worry about the distance, C I’m right there if you get lonely, Em Give this song another listen, Am G Close your eyes, F G Am Listen to my voice it’s my disguise, G I’m by your side. [Chorus] C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C What you do to me. [Verse] C Hey there Delilah, Em I know times are getting hard, C But just believe me girl some day, Em I'll pay the bills with this guitar, Am G We'll have it good, F G We'll have the life Am we knew we would, G My word is good. C Hey there Delilah, Em I’ve got so much left to say, C If every simple song I wrote to you, Em Would take your breath away, Am G I’d write it all, F G Even more in love with me Am you’d fall, G We’d have it all. [Chorus] C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, [Bridge] F A thousand miles seems pretty far, G But they’ve got planes and trains and cars, C I’d walk to you if Am I had no other way, F Our friends would all make fun of us, G And we'll just laugh along because, C We know that none of Am them have felt this way, F Delilah I can promise you, G That by the time that we get through, Am The world will never ever be the same, G And you’re to blame. [Verse] C Em Hey there Delilah you be good, And don’t you miss me, C Two more years and you’ll be done with school, Em And I'll be making history, Am G Like I do, F G Am You’ll know it's all because of you, F G Am We can do whatever we want to, F G Am Hey there Delilah here's to you, G This one’s for you. [Chorus] C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am Oh it’s what you do to me, C Am What you do to me. [Outro] C Am C Am C Am C C
