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

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
What you do to me.

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

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

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,

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

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.
