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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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