[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]
