INTRO
C, Em, C, Em

VERSE 1
C                                               Em
Hey there Delilah, What’s it like in New York City? 
            C                                                       Em
I’m a thousand miles away, But girl tonight you look so pretty, 
               Am  F                                 G                           Am
Yes you do, Time Square can’t shine as bright as you, 
                      G
I swear it’s true. 
C                                                  Em
Hey there Delilah, Don’t you worry about the distance, 
                  C                                                    Em
I’m right there if you get lonely, Give this song another listen, 
                     Am    F                       G                         Am 
Close your eyes, Listen to my voice it’s my disguise, 
                      G
I’m by your side. 

CHORUS
C                                    Am   C                                    Am
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me, 
C                                    Am   C                                    Am            
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me, 
                             C
What you do to me. 

VERSE 2
C                                            Em
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard, 
                   C                                                            Em
But just believe me girl some day, I'll pay the bills with this guitar, 
                         Am    F                        G                          Am
We'll have it good, We'll have the life we knew we would, 
                       G
My word is good. 
C                                           Em   
Hey there Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say, 
                 C                                                       Em
If every simple song I wrote to you, Would take your breath away, 
                 Am   F                      G                              Am
I’d write it all, Even more in love with me you’d fall, 
                        G
We’d have it all. 

CHORUS
C                                    Am   C                                    Am
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me, 
C                                    Am   C                                    Am            
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me, 
                             C
What you do to me. Bridge
F G A thousand miles seems pretty far, But they’ve got planes and trains and cars, C Am I’d walk to you if I had no other way F G Our friends would all make fun of us, And we'll just laugh along because, C Am We know that none of them have felt this way, F G Delilah I can promise you, That by the time that we get through, Am G The world will never ever be the same, And you’re to blame. VERSE 3 C Em Hey there Delilah you be good, And don’t you miss me, C Em Two more years and you’ll be done with school, And I'll be making history, Am F G Am Like I do, You’ll know it's all because of you, F G Am We can do whatever we want to, F G Am C Hey there Delilah here's to you, This one’s for you. FINAL CHORUS
C                                    Am   C                                    Am
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me, 
C                                    Am   C                                    Am            
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me, 
                             C
What you do to me. 
Am C Am C Am C Am C C Ohhh
