[Intro]
G  Bm  G  Bm


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


[Outro]
               G      Em
What you do to me, oh oh
    G       Em
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    G       Em
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    G       Em
Oh, oh, oh, oh
    G   G~
Oh, oh,
