C|---------------------------------|
G|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-| x2


1st verve :
C           
 Hey there Delilah,
          Em 
What's it like in New York City? 
      C                 
I'm a thousand miles away, 
           Em
But girl tonight you look so pretty, 
        Am    (G)
Yes you do, 
F             (G)                     Am
 Time Square can't shine as bright as you, 
             G
I swear it's true



2nd verse :
C
 Hey there Delilah, 
          Em
Don't you worry about the distance,
          C 
I'm right there if you get lonely, 
          Em
Give this song another listen,
           Am      (G)
Close your eyes, 
F              (G)            Am
 Listen to my voice it's my disguise,
            G
I'm by your side 




Chorus :
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me, 
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me,
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me,
C                (G)   Am    
Oh it's what you do to me, 
         (B)   C                      
What you do to me


3rd verse:
C
 Hey there Delilah,
       Em
I know times are getting hard,
           C
But just believe me girl some day,
             Em
I'll pay the bills with this guitar, 
              Am
We'll have it good, 
F                               Am
 We'll have the life we knew we would, 
           G
My word is good



4th verse:
C
 Hey there Delilah, 
         Em
I've got so much left to say, 
         C
If every simple song I wrote to you, 
      Em
Would take your breath away, 
             Am
I'd write it all, 
F                           Am
 Even more in love with me you'd fall,
             G
We'd have it all



Chorus :
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me, 
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me,
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me,
C                (G)   Am    
Oh it's what you do to me, 



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




5th verse:
C                         (Em) 
 Hey there Delilah you be good, 
Em
 And don't you miss me, 
         C                              
Two more years and you'll be done with school, 
     Em
And I'll be making history, 
       Am   (G)
Like I do, 
F                                Am
 You'll know it's all because of you, 
F                           Am                             
 We can do whatever we want to,
F                            Am
 Hey there Delilah here's to you, 
               G       G
This one's for you



Chorus :
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me, 
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me,
C                (G)   Am    (B)
Oh it's what you do to me,
C                (G)   Am    
Oh it's what you do to me, 
         (B)   C                      
What you do to me

    The intro sounds better as 5th on a and 2nd on g then 2nd on e and 2nd on g.

    the intro sounds a little weird =) A|-3-3-3-3------------ E|----------7-7-7-7--- C|-------------------- g|--0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-- i think it sounds better that way.
