[Intro]
G#  Cm  G#  Cm


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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