Hey there Delilah, [B] what's it like in New York [E] City?
I'm a couple miles away, but [D#] girl tonight you look so pretty
[C#m] Yes you do, [A] Times Square [B] can't shine as bright [C#m] as you
I swear [F#] it's true
[E] Hey there Delilah, [G#m] don't you worry about the distance
[E] I'm not there if you get lonely
[G#m] Give this song another listen
[C#m] Close your eyes, [A] listen to [B] my voice
It's [C#m] my disguise, I'm [B] by your side
[E] Oh, it's what you do [C#m] to me
[E] Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
It's what you do [Em] to me

But [E] just believe me girl, someday I'll [G#m] pay the bills
With this guitar we'll [C#m] have it good
[A] We'll [B] have a laugh, we [C#m] know we would
My [C#] word is good
[E] Hey there Delilah, [G#m] I've got so much left to say
If [E] that is the one song I wrote to you
[G#m] Won't take your breath away, [C#m] I'd write it all
[A] Remember [B] more of [C#m] me before we [B] had it all

It's what you do to me
What you do to me
[C#m] What you do to [E] me
[C#m] What you do to me
What you do to me
[A] A thousand miles is really [B] far
But they've got trains and planes and [C#m] cars
I walked to you, I had no other way
[A] We'll get our make-believe [B] cars
And we'll just laugh along
[C#m] Because we know that none of them have been straight
But [A] I can promise [B] you that by the time that we get [C#m] through
The world will never ever be the same
And [F#] you're to blame
[B]
[E] Hey there, Delilah, [D#m] you'll be good
And don't you miss me [E] 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 [B] know it's all [C#m] because of you
[A] We can [B] do whatever [C#m] we want to
[A] Hey [B] there, Delilah, [C#m] this [B] one's for you
And [E] this one's for you
Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
[E] Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me
It's what you [Em] do to me
[C#m] [E]
[C#m] Oh, it's what you [C#m] do to me

Oh, what you do to me.
