[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, close [Bm] your eyes
[A] [G] Listen to [A] my voice, it's my [Bm] disguise, I'm [A] by your side
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me,
[D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[F#m]
[D] Oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me, [F#m]
[D] oh, it's what you do [Bm] to me
[F#]
[D] Hey there Delilah, I [F#m] know times are getting hard, but [D] just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay [F#m] the bills with this guitar, we'll [Bm] have it good
[A]
[G] We'll [A] have the life we [Bm] knew we would, my [A] word is good
[D] Hey there Delilah, I've [F#m] got so much left to say, if [D] every simple song I wrote to [F#m] you
Would take your breath away, I'd [Bm] write it all
[A]
[G] Even [A] more in love with me [Bm] you'd fall, we'd [A] have it all
[D] Oh, it's [A] what you [Bm] do to me, [D] oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me
[F#] [D]
[Bm] [C#] [D] A
[Bm] [B] [G] thousand miles seems pretty [A] far, but they've got planes and trains and [D] cars
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 [C#] them have [Bm] felt this way
[A] [G] Delilah, I can promise [A] you that by the time we get [Bm] through
The world will never ever be the same, and [A] you're to blame
[D] Hey there Delilah, you [F#m] be good and don't you miss me
In [D] two more years and you'll be done with [F#m] school and I'll be making history [Bm] like I do
[A]
[G] You'll [A] know it's all [Bm] because of you, [A]
[G] we can [A] do whatever [Bm] we want [D] to
[G] Hey [A] there Delilah, [Bm] here's to you, this [A] one's for you
[D] Oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me, [C#]
[D] oh, it's what you [Bm] do to me
[F#m]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm] [F#]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm] Oh, oh, oh
