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

Verse 2:
Fm
Hey there, Delilah
C
I know times are gettin' hard
Fm
But just believe me, girl
C
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
Db
We'll have it good
C Fm
We'll have the life we knew we would
C
My word is good
Fm
Hey there, Delilah
C
I've got so much left to say
Fm
If every simple song I wrote to you

Would take your breath away

I'd write it all

Even more in love with me you'd fall

We'd have it all

Bridge:
Db
A thousand miles seems pretty far
C
But they've got planes and trains and cars
Fm C
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Db
Our friends would all make fun of us
C Fm
And we'd just laugh along because we'd know
C
That none of them have felt this way
Db
Delilah, I can promise you
C
That by the time that we get through
Fm
The world will never ever be the same
C
And you're to blame
Bridge 2:
Fm
Hey there, Delilah
C
You be good, and don't you miss me
Fm
Two more years and you'll be done with school
C Db
And I'll be makin' history like I do
C Fm
You know it's all because of you
C Fm
We can do whatever we want to
C Fm
Hey there, Delilah, here's to you
C
This one's for you
Chorus:
Fm Db Dbm
Oh, it's what you do to me
Ab C
Oh, it's what you do to me
Fm Db Dbm
Oh, it's what you do to me
Ab C
Oh, it's what you do to me
Fm C
What you do to me, oh oh, woah, woah
Db
Oh woah, oh
C
Oh
