[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, [Bm] close your eyes
[D] [G] Listen to [A] 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 do [Bm] to me
[F#m]
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me, [F#m]
[D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me, [F#m] what you [D] do to me
Hey there Delilah, I [F#m] 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 it's good
[D] Hey there Delilah, I've [F#m] 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 [Bm] me 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 [Bm] do to me
[F#] [D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me, [D] oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me
[G] A thousand miles seems pretty [A] far, but they've got planes and trains and [D] cars, I'd walk to [Bm] you if I had no other way
[G] Our friends would all make fun of [A] us and we'll just laugh along because [D] we know that [Bm] none of them have felt this [D] way
[G] Delilah, I can promise [A] you that by the time we get [Bm] through, the world will never ever be the same and [A] you're to blame
[D] Hey there Delilah, [F#m] you'll be good and don't you miss me, [D] two 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 [F#m] know it's all [Bm] because of you
[A]
[G] We can [A] do whatever [Bm] we want to, [A]
[G] hey [A] there Delilah, [Bm] here's to [G] you, this [A] one's for you
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me, [D]
oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me
