[Intro]
[C] [Em] [C] [Em]
[Verse]
[C] Hey there Delilah,
What’s it [Em]like in New York City?
I’m a [C]thousand miles away,
But girl to[Em]tonight you look so pretty,
Yes you [Am]do, [G]
[F] Time Square can’t [G]shine as bright as [Am]you,
I swear it’s [G]true.
[C] Hey there Delilah,
Don’t you [Em]worry about the distance,
I’m right [C]there if you get lonely,
Give this [Em]song another listen,
Close your [Am]eyes, [G]
[F] Listen to my [G]voice it’s my dis[Am]disguise,
I’m by your [G]side.
[Chorus]
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
What you do to [C]me.
[Verse]
[C] Hey there Delilah,
I know [Em]times are getting hard,
But just be[C]believe me girl some day,
I'll pay the [Em]bills with this guitar,
We'll have it [Am]good, [G]
[F] We'll have the [G]life we knew we [Am]would,
My word is [G]good.
[C] Hey there Delilah,
I’ve got [Em]so much left to say,
If every [C]simple song I wrote to you,
Would [Em]take your breath away,
I’d write it [Am]all, [G]
[F] Even more in [G]love with me you’d [Am]fall,
We’d have it [G]all.
[Chorus]
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[Bridge]
A [F]thousand miles seems pretty far,
But [G]they’ve got planes and trains and cars,
I’d [C]walk to you if I had no other [Am]way,
Our [F]friends would all make fun of us,
And [G]we'll just laugh along because,
We [C]know that none of them have felt this [Am]way,
De[F]Delilah I can promise you,
That [G]by the time that we get through,
The [Am]world will never ever be the same,
And you’re to [G]blame.
[Verse]
[C] Hey there Delilah you be
[Em]good, And don’t you miss me,
Two more [C]years and you’ll be done with school,
And [Em]I'll be making history,
Like I [Am]do, [G]
[F] You’ll know it's [G]all because of [Am]you,
[F] We can do what[G]whatever we want [Am]to,
[F] Hey there De[G]Delilah here's to [Am]you,
This one’s for [G]you.
[Chorus]
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
[C]Oh it’s what you do to [Am]me,
What you do to [C]me. [Am]
[Outro]
