[D] [F#m]
[D] Hey there Delilah, [F#m] what's it like in New York City?
I'm a [D] thousand miles away, but [F#m] girl, tonight you look so pretty, [Bm] yes you do
[A] [G] Times [A] Square can't shine as [Bm] bright as you, I [A] 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] close your [D] eyes
[G] Listen [A] to my voice, it's [Bm] my disguise, I'm [A] by your side
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me, [D]
oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me
[F#m]
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me, [F#m]
[D] oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me
[F#m]
[D] Hey there Delilah, [F#m] I know times are getting hard, but [D] just believe me girl, someday I'll [F#m] pay the bills
With this guitar we'll [Bm] have it good, [A]
[G] we'll [A] have the life we [Bm] knew we [G] would
My [A] word is good
[D] Hey there Delilah, [F#m] I've got so much left to say, if [D] every simple song I wrote to [F#m] you would take your breath away, I'd [Bm] write it all
[A]
[G] Even [A] more in love with me [Bm] you'd [G] fall, we'd [A] have it all
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me, [D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[F#] [D]
[Bm] [F#m] [D]
[Bm] A [G] thousand miles seems pretty [A] far, but they've got planes and trains and [D] cars, I'd walk to you if I had no [Bm] other way
[D] [G] Our friends would all make fun of [A] us and we'll just laugh along because [D] we know that none [Bm] have ever felt this way
[D] [G] Delilah, I can promise you [A] that by the time we get through, [Bm] the world will never ever be the same, and [A] you're to blame
[D] Hey there Delilah, you [F#m] be good and don't you miss me, two [D] more years and you'll be done with school, [F#m] and I'll be making history [Bm] like I do
[A]
[G] You'll know [A] it's all because [Bm] of you, [A]
[G] we can do [A] whatever we [Bm] want to
[A]
[G] Hey [A] there Delilah, [Bm] here's to you, [G] this [A] one's for you
[D] Oh, it's what you do to me, oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[F#m]
