[Verse 1]
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    Am/G
Yes you do,
F                   G                 Am
Times Square can't shine as bright as you,
              G   G5
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    Am/G
Close your eyes
F             G              Am
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
              G  G5
I'm by your side
 
[Chorus]
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am         Am/B   C   C/B
Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me
 
[Verse 2]
C
Hey there Delilah
       Em
I know times are getting hard
         C
But just believe me, girl
                     Em
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
              Am     Am/G
We'll have it good
 F              G              Am
We'll have the life we knew we would
             G G5
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    Am/G
I'd write it all
 F           G                   Am
Even more in love with me you'd fall
               G G5
We'd have it all
 
[Chorus]
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am           Am/B   Am/G
Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me
 
[Bridge]
   F
A thousand miles seems pretty far
      G
But they've got planes and trains and cars
      C                      C/G    Am   Am/G
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
       F
Our friends would all make fun of us
       G                                  C
And we'll just laugh along because we know
                        C/G     Am   Am/G
That none of them have felt this way
   F
Delilah I can promise you
       G
That by the time we get through
        Am
The world will never ever be the same
                G   G5
And you're to blame
 
[Verse 3]
 C
Hey there Delilah
       Em
You be good and don't you miss me
          C
Two more years and you'll be done with school
     Em                            Am  Am/G
And I'll be making history like I do
F                 G             Am   Am/G
You'll know it's all because of you
F              G        Am     Am/G
We can do whatever we want to
F            G              Am
Hey there Delilah here's to you
                G   G5
This one's for you
 
[Chorus]
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am    Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me,
C                 C/G       Am           Am/B
Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me
