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,
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 G
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
