Yes you do, Time Square can’t shine as bright as you,
A
I swear it’s true.
D C
Hey there Delilah, Don’t you worry about the distance,

I’m right there if you get lonely, Give this song another listen,
Em G A Em
Close your eyes, Listen to my voice it’s my disguise,

I’m by your side.

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

VERSE 2
D C
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard,
D C
But just believe me girl some day, I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
Em G A Em
We'll have it good, We'll have the life we knew we would,
A
My word is good.
D C
Hey there Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say,
D C
If every simple song I wrote to you, Would take your breath away,
Em G A Em
I’d write it all, Even more in love with me you’d fall,
A
We’d have it all.
CHORUS

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

G A
A thousand miles seems pretty far, But they’ve got planes and trains and cars,
D Em
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 Em
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,
Em A
The world will never ever be the same, And you’re to blame.

We can do whatever we want to,

Hey there Delilah here's to you, This one’s for you.
