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

[B] [Em] [D]
[G] Hey there Delilah, you [Bm] be good and don't you miss me two [G] more years and you'll be done with school
[B] And I'll be making history like [Em] I do
[C] You'll know [B] it's all because [Em] of you
[C] We can do [D] whatever [Em] we want to
[C] Hey [B] there Delilah, [Em] here's to you
This [D] one's for you
[G] [B] Oh, it's what you [Em] do to me, [Cm] [G] oh oh, [D] it's what you do [G] to me
[E] It's [G] [B] what you [Em] do to me, [Cm] [G] oh oh, [D] it's what you do [Em] to me

It's what you do [G] to me
It's what you do to me
