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. 

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. 

C                 G    Am  Em
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it's what you do to me, 

      Em       C    G    C                   
What you do to me. 

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    G
We'll have it good, 
F              G               Am
We'll have the life we knew we would, 
           G
My word is good. 

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    G
I’d write it all, 
F            G                  Am
Even more in love with me you’d fall, 
            G
We’d have it all. 

C                 G    Am  Em
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it's what you do to me, 

    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
And you’re to blame. 

C                         Em
Hey there Delilah you be good, 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                G               Am  G
You’ll know it's all because of you, 
F             G            Am  G                         
We can do whatever we want to,
F            G                Am
Hey there Delilah here's to you, 
                G
This one’s for you. 

C                 G    Am  Em
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it’s what you do to me, 
Oh it's what you do to me, 

      Em       C    G    C                   
What you do to me. 
C         G    Am  Em
Whoooo-oh-oh-oh-oh    ( repeat )

C       Am     C
