[Verse] [C] Hey there Delilah, What's it [Em] like in New York City? I'm a [C] thousand miles away, But girl to [Em] night you look so pretty, Yes you [Am] do, [G][F] Time Square can't [G] shine as bright as [Am] you, I swear it's [G] true. [C] Hey there Delilah, Don't you [Em] worry about the distance, I'm right [C] there if you get lonely, Give this [Em] song another listen, Close your [Am] eyes, [G][F] Listen to my [G] voice it's my dis [Am] guise, I'm by your [G] side.
[Chorus] [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, What you do to [C] me.
[Verse] [C] Hey there Delilah, I know [Em] times are getting hard, But just be [C] lieve me girl some day, I'll pay the [Em] bills with this guitar, We'll have it [Am] good, [G][F] We'll have the [G] life we knew we [Am] would, My word is [G] good.
[C] Hey there Delilah, I've got [Em] so much left to say, If every [C] simple song I wrote to you, Would [Em] take your breath away, I'd write it [Am] all, [G][F] Even more in [G] love with me you'd [Am] fall, We'd have it [G] all.
[Chorus] [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me,
[Bridge] A [F] thousand miles seems pretty far, But [G] they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd [C] walk to you if I had no other [Am] way, Our [F] friends would all make fun of us, And [G] we'll just laugh along because, We [C] know that none of them have felt this [Am] way, De [F] lilah I can promise you, That [G] by the time that we get through, The [Am] world will never ever be the same, And you're to [G] blame.
[Verse] [C] Hey there Delilah you be [Em] good, And don't you miss me, Two more [C] years and you'll be done with school, And [Em] I'll be making history, Like I [Am] do, [G][F] You'll know it's [G] all because of [Am] you, [F] We can do what [G] ever we want [Am] to, [F] Hey there De [G] lilah here's to [Am] you, This one's for [G] you.
[Chorus] [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, [C] Oh it's what you do to [Am] me, What you do to [C] me. [Am]

[Verse 1 - Drums in] [Gm] Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow. [F] I lean back on my radio-o-o [C] Some cat was laying down some [C7] rock'n'roll, 'Lotta soul' he said. [F][Ab][Bb] (coming back to Gm after this)
[Verse 2] [Gm] Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade [F] Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase [C] That weren't no DJ that was [C7] hazy cosmic jive.

[Chorus - Drums back in] There's a [F] star [F] man [Dm] waiting in the sky He'd [Am] like to come and [C] meet us But he [C7] thinks he'd blow our minds. There's a [F] star [F] man [Dm] waiting in the sky He's [Am] told us not to [C] blow it 'Cause he [C7] knows it's all worthwhile,
He told me, [Bb] Let the [Bbm] children lose it [F] let the [D7] children use it [Gm] Let all the [C] children boogie
