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