[E] [G#m]
[E]
Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City?
[G#m] I'm a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty
[C#m] Yes you do
A diamond [B] square can't shine as [C#m] bright as you
I [B] swear it's true
[E]
Hey there Delilah, [G#m] don't you worry about the distance
[E] I'm a fan, you get lonely [G#m] with this song
And I better listen [C#m]
close to your eyes
[A] Listen [B] to my voice, it's [C#m] my disguise
I'm [B] by your side
[E]
Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E]
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E]
Oh, it's what you do to [C#m] me
What you [E] do to me
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard
But [G#m] just believe me girl, someday I'll pay
Fills this guitar and we'll [C#m] have it good
[A]
We'll [B] have the life we [C#m] knew but
My [B] word is good
[E] Hey there Delilah, [G#m] I've got so much left to say
If [E] every simple song I wrote to [G#m] you would take your breath away
I'd [C#m] write it all
[A]
Even [B] more in love with [C#m] me you'd fall
[B] We'd have it all
[E] Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E] Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E] Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E] Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
[A] A thousand miles seems pretty [B] far but they got planes
Trains and [E] cars, I'd walk to you if I had no [C#m] other way
[A] Friends would all make fun of [B] us and we'll just laugh [E] along
Because you know that [G#m] none of them have [C#m] felt this way
[A] Delilah, I can promise [B] you that by the time that [G#m] we get [E] through
The world will never ever [C#m] be the same
And [B] you're to blame
[E] Hey there Delilah, [G#m] you be good and don't you miss [E] me
Two more years and you'll be done with [G#m] school
And I'll be making history [C#m] like I do
[A] You'll [B] know it's all [C#m] because of you
[A]
We can [B] do whatever we [C#m] want to
[A]
Hey [G#m] there Delilah, [C#m] here's to you
This [B] one's for you
Oh, [E]
it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E]
Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
Oh, [E]
it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E]
Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
What you [E] do to me
[C#m] [E]
[C#m] [E]
[C#m] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, [E] oh, oh, oh, oh
