[D] [F#m]
[D] [F#m]
[D] Hey there Delilah, what's [F#m] 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 Square [A] can't shine as bright [Bm] 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, [A] [G] listen to [A] my voice, it's my [Bm] disguise
I'm by [A] your side
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[F#m]
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[D]
Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
What [F#] you do [D] to me
Hey there Delilah, I [F#m] know times are getting hard
But just [D] believe me girl, someday I'll pay [F#m] the bills
With this guitar [Bm] we'll have it good
[A]
[G] We'll have [A] the life we knew [Bm] we would
My word [A] is good
[D] Hey there Delilah, I've [F#m] got so much left to say
If every [D] simple song I wrote to you [F#m] would take your breath away
I'd write [Bm] it all
[A]
[G] Even more [A] in love with me [Bm] you'd fall, we'd [A] have it all
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[C#] [D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[B] [G] A thousand miles seems pretty far
[A] But they've got planes and trains and cars
[D] I'd walk to you if I had no [Bm] other way
[A] [G] Our friends would all make fun of [A] us
And we'll just laugh along
Because [D] we know that none of them [C#] have felt [Bm] this way
[A] [G] Delilah, I can promise you [A] that by the time we get through
[Bm] The world will never ever be the same
And you're [A] to blame
[D] Hey there Delilah, you'll [F#m] be good
And don't you miss me
Two [D] more years and you'll be done with school
[F#m] And I'll be making history like [Bm] I do
[A]
[G] You'll know [A] it's all because [Bm] of you
[A]
[G] We can do [A] whatever we [Bm] want to
[D]
[G] Hey there [A] Delilah, [Bm] here's to you
This [A] one's for you
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[C#]
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[F#m]
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
What [C#m] you do [D] to me [Bm] Oh [D] [Bm] Oh
[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm]
