D F#m D F#m D F#m
Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City?
D F#m Bm A
I'm a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty, yes you do
G A Bm A
Time Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true
D
Hey there Delilah,
F#m
Don't you worry about the distance,
D
I'm right there if you get lonely,
F#m
Give this song another listen,
Bm A
Close your eyes,
G A Bm
Listen to my voice it's my disguise,
A
I'm by your side.
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D
What you do to me.
[Verse]
D
Hey there Delilah,
F#m
I know times are getting hard,
D
But just believe me girl some day,
F#m
I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
Bm A
We'll have it good,
G A Bm
We'll have the life we knew we would,
A
My word is good.
D
Hey there Delilah,
F#m
I've got so much left to say,
D
If every simple song I wrote to you,
F#m
Would take your breath away,
Bm A
I'd write it all,
G A Bm
Even more in love with me you'd fall,
A
We'd have it all.
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
[Bridge]
G
A thousand miles seems pretty far,
A
But they've got planes and trains and cars,
D Bm
I'd walk to you if I had no other way,
G
Our friends would all make fun of us,
A
And we'll just laugh along because,
D Bm
We know that none of them have felt this way,
G
Delilah I can promise you,
A
That by the time that we get through,
Bm
The world will never ever be the same,
A
And you're to blame.
[Verse]
D F#m
Hey there Delilah you 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 A
Like I do,
G A Bm
You'll know it's all because of you,
G A Bm
We can do whatever we want to,
G A Bm
Hey there Delilah here's to you,
A
This one's for you.
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
Oh it's what you do to me,
D Bm
What you do to me.
