[Intro] D F#m D F#m [Verse 1]
D                            F#m
Hey there Delilah, what’s it like in New York City?

      D                               F#m
I’m a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty,

         Bm  G                  A                  Bm
Yes, you do, Times Square can’t shine as bright as you,

             A
I swear it’s true.

D                            F#m
Hey there Delilah, don’t you worry about the distance,

          D                                  F#m
I’m right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen,

           Bm    G            A                 Bm
Close your eyes, listen to my voice, it’s my disguise,

            A
I’m by your side.
[Chorus]
D                       Bm  D                       Bm     A
Oh, it’s what you do to me, Oh, it’s what you do to me,

D                       Bm  D                       Bm
Oh, it’s what you do to me, Oh, it’s what you do to me,

               D
What you do to me.
[Verse 2]
D                         F#m
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard,

           D                                    F#m
But just believe me girl, some day I'll pay the bills with this guitar,

              Bm    G              A               Bm
We'll have it good, we'll have the life we knew we would,

           A
My word is good.

D                           F#m
Hey there Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say,

         D                                 F#m
If every simple song I wrote to you, would take your breath away,

             Bm   G            A                  Bm
I’d write it all, even more in love with me you’d fall,

             A
We’d have it all.
[Chorus]
D                       Bm  D                       Bm    A
Oh, it’s what you do to me, Oh, it’s what you do to me,

D                       Bm  D                       Bm    A
Oh, it’s what you do to me, Oh, it’s what you do to me,
[Bridge]
  G                                    A
A thousand miles seems pretty far, but they’ve got planes and trains and cars,

    D                             Bm
I’d walk to you if I had no other way

    G                                     A
Our friends would all make fun of us, and we'll just laugh along because,

   D                                     Bm
We know that none of them have felt this way,

  G                              A
Delilah, I can promise you, that by the time that we get through,

    Bm                                               A
The world will never ever be the same, and you’re to blame.
[Verse 3]
D                         F#m
Hey there Delilah, you be good, and don’t you miss me,

         D                                         F#m
Two more years and you’ll be done with school, and I'll be making history,

       Bm  G                A              Bm
Like I do, you’ll know it's all because of you,

G             A            Bm
We can do whatever we want to,

G           A                Bm                  A
Hey there Delilah, here's to you, this one’s for you.
[Final Chorus]
D                       Bm  D                       Bm    A
Oh, it’s what you do to me, Oh, it’s what you do to me,

D                       Bm  D                       Bm
Oh, it’s what you do to me, Oh, it’s what you do to me,

               D
What you do to me.

   Bm   D    Bm    D    Bm   D    Bm   D D (full strum)
Ohhh
