[Intro]
C Em x2
[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
[Outro]

this tab should have more positive ratings considering it's the only one with the correct bass movements, which is a pretty iconic part of the song
