[D] [F#m]
[D] [F#m]
[D] Hey there Delilah, [F#m] what's it like in New York City?
[D] I'm a thousand miles away, but girl, [F#m] tonight you look so pretty, yes [Bm] you do.
[A] [G] Times [A] Square can't shine as [Bm] bright as you, I swear [A] it's true.
[D] Hey there Delilah, don't [F#m] you worry about the distance, I'm [D] right there.
If you get lonely, give [F#m] this song another listen, close [Bm] your eyes.
[A] [G] Listen to [A] my voice, it's my [Bm] disguise, I'm [A] by your side.
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me, [D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me.
[F#m]
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me, [D]
oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me.
What [F#] you do [D] to me.
Hey there Delilah, I [F#m] know times are getting hard, but just [D] believe me girl, someday I'll
pay [F#m] the bills with this guitar, [Bm] we'll have it good.
[A]
[G] We'll have [A] the life we knew [Bm] we would, my [A] word is good.
[D] Hey there Delilah, I've [F#m] got so much left to say, if [D] every simple song I wrote to you [F#m] would
take your breath away, I'd [Bm] write it all.
[A]
[G] Even [A] more in love with me [Bm] you'd fall, we'd [A] have it all.
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me, [D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me.
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me, [C#] [D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me.
[B] [G] A thousand miles seems pretty far, [A] but they've got planes and trains and [D] cars, I'd walk to
you if I had no [Bm] other way.
[A] [G] Our friends would all make fun of [A] us and we'll just laugh along because [D] we know that none
of them [C#] have felt [Bm] this way.
[A] [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.
[D]
[G] Hey there [A] Delilah, here's [Bm] to you.
This [A] one's for you.
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me, [C#]
[D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me.
[F#m]
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me [D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[F#] What you do [D] to me
