[Intro]
B  D#m  B  D#m


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


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


[Chorus]
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
               B
What you do to me.


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


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


[Chorus]
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me


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


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


[Chorus]
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me
B                      G#m
Oh it’s what you do to me


[Outro]
               B      G#m
What you do to me, oh oh
    B       G#m
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    B       G#m
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    B       G#m
Oh, oh, oh, oh
