[Intro 1]
[C][Em][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[C]Hey there Delilah,
what's it [Em]like in New York City?
I'm a [C]thousand miles away but girl
to[Em]night you look so pretty
Yes you [Am]do
[F]Times Square can't shi[G]ne as bright as you
[Am]I swear it's true[G]
[C]Hey there Delilah,
don't you [Em]worry about the distance
I'm right [C]there if you get lonely
give this [Em]song another listen
Close your [Am]eyes
[F]Listen to my voi[G]ce, it's my disgui[Am]se,
I'm by your [G]side

[Chorus 1]
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
What you do to [C]me

[Verse 2]
[C]Hey there Delilah,
I know [Em]times are gettin' hard
but just be[C]lieve me girl,
Someday I'll pay the [Em]bills with this guitar
We'll have it [Am]good
[F]We'll have the lif[G]e we knew we would
[Am]My word is good[G]
[C]Hey there Delilah,
I've got [Em]so much left to say
if every [C]simple song I wrote to you
would [Em]take your breath away
I'd write it [Am]all
[F]Even more in lov[G]e with me you[Am]'d fall
We'd have it [G]all

[Chorus 2]
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me

[Bridge 1]
A [F]thousand miles seems pretty far
but [G]they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd [C]walk to you if I had no other [Am]way
Our [F]friends would all make fun of us
And [G]we'll just laugh along because we know
[C]That none of them have felt this way[Am]
De[F]lilah I can promise you
that [G]by the time we get through
The [Am]world will never ever be the same
and you're to [G]blame

[Verse 3]
[C]Hey there Delilah,
You be [Em]good, and don't you miss me
Two more [C]years and you'll be done with school
And [Em]I'll be makin' history like I [Am]do
[F]You'll know it's all[G] because of you[Am]
[F]We can do wha[G]tever we wan[Am]t to
[F]Hey there, Del[G]ilah, here's to you[Am]
This one's for [G]you[G]

[Chorus 3]
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
[C]Oh, it's what you do to [Am]me
What you do to [C]me
[Am]Oh, [C]whoa, [Am]whoa
[C]Oh, [Am]whoa, [C]oh
[Am]Oh, [C]oh
