[Intro]
D  F#m  D  F#m


[Verse]
D
Hey there Delilah,
          F#m
What’s it like in New York City?
      D
I’m a thousand miles away,
         F#m
But girl tonight you look so pretty,
        Bm   A
Yes you do,
G                 A                  Bm
Time Square can’t shine as bright as you,
             A
I swear it’s true.


[Verse]
D
Hey there Delilah,
          F#m
Don’t you worry about the distance,
          D
I’m right there if you get lonely,
          F#m
Give this song another listen,
           Bm   A
Close your eyes,
G            A                Bm
Listen to my voice it’s my disguise,
            A
I’m by your side.


[Chorus]
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
               D
What you do to me.


[Verse]
D
Hey there Delilah,
       F#m
I know times are getting hard,
         D
But just believe me girl some day,
             F#m
I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
              Bm   A
We'll have it good,
G              A               Bm
We'll have the life we knew we would,
           A
My word is good.


[Verse]
D
Hey there Delilah,
         F#m
I’ve got so much left to say,
         D
If every simple song I wrote to you,
      F#m
Would take your breath away,
             Bm   A
I’d write it all,
G            A                Bm
Even more in love with me you’d fall,
             A
We’d have it all.


[Chorus]
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me


[Bridge]
  G
A thousand miles seems pretty far,
    A
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars,
    D                             Bm
I’d walk to you if I had no other way,
    G
Our friends would all make fun of us,
    A
And we'll just laugh along because,
   D                                     Bm
We know that none of them have felt this way,
G
Delilah I can promise you,
     A
That by the time that we get through,
    D
The world will never ever be the same,
              A
And you’re to blame.


[Verse]
D                        F#m
Hey there Delilah you be good, and don’t you miss me,
         D
Two more years and you’ll be done with school,
    F#m
And I'll be making history,
       Bm   A
Like I do,
G                A              Bm   A
You’ll know it's all because of you,
G             A       Bm      A
We can do whatever we want to,
G         A                 Bm   A
Hey there Delilah here's to you,
               A
This one’s for you.


[Chorus]
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
D                      Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me


[Outro]
               D      Bm
What you do to me, oh oh
    D       Bm
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    D       Bm
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    D       Bm
Oh, oh, oh, oh
