[Intro]
A#  Dm  A#  Dm


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


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


[Chorus]
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
               A#
What you do to me.


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


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


[Chorus]
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me


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


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


[Chorus]
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me
A#                      Gm
Oh it’s what you do to me


[Outro]
               A#      Gm
What you do to me, oh oh
    A#       Gm
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    A#       Gm
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    A#       Gm
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    A#   A#~
