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

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