-3   -3   -3 -3  3
Hey there De-li-lah 
  -2*  3   -3  -3 -3   -4  -3  3
what's it like in New York Cit-y
-2* 3  -3   -3   -3  -3 -3
I'm a thou-sand miles a-way
 3   -2* 3   -3   -3   -3  -4  -3  3
But girl to-night you look so pret-ty, 
-2*  3 -2*
yes you do
  3      3     3    -2*  2    -1   2  -2*
Times Square can't shine as bright as you, 
-2* 2    -1   2
I swear it's true

-3   -3   -3 -3  3
Hey there De-li-lah 
 -2*   3  -3  -3 -3 -3  -4  -3    3
don't you wor-ry a-bout the dis-tance
-2*   3    -3   -3 -3  -3   -3  3
I'm right there if you get lone-ly 
-2*   3    -3  -3 -3  -4 -3   3
give this song an-oth-er lis-ten
 -2*    2   -2*
Close your eyes, 
 3   3  3  3   -2*   2   -1  2   -2*
Lis-ten to my voice it's my dis-guise
-2* -2* -1   2
I'm by your side

-5  -5   -6*  6  -5 5* -55*-4
Oh it's what you do to   me
-3  -3   -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
Oh it's what you do to me
-5  -5   -6*  6  -5 5* -55*-4
Oh it's what you do to   me
-3  -3   -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
Oh it's what you do to me
 -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
What you do to me

-3   -3   -3 -3  3
Hey there De-li-lah, 
-2* 3   -3   -3  -3   -4   -3
I know times are get-ting hard
 3   -2* 3    -3  -3  -3
But just be-lieve me girl, 
 -3  -3   3   -2*  3   -3    -3   -3  -4  -3
Some-day I'll pay the bills with this gui-tar
  3    -2* 2   -2*
We'll have it good, 
  3    3    3   -2* 2   -1  2   -2*
we'll have the life we knew we would
-2*  2  -1   2
My word is good

-3   -3   -3 -3  3
Hey there De-li-lah, 
-2*   3  -3  -3   -3  -4 -3
I've got so much left to say
3  -2* 3  -3  -3   -3 -3  -3   3  -2*
If ev-‘ry sim-ple song I wrote to you
  3    -3   -3   -3   -4 -3
Would take your breath a-way, 
 3   -2*  -1 -2*
I'd write it all
3  3   3   3   -3   -3  -3  -4    -2*
Ev-en more in love with me you'd fall, 
 -2*  -2* -1  2
we'd have it all

-5  -5   -6*  6  -5 5* -55*-4
Oh it's what you do to   me
-3  -3   -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
Oh it's what you do to me
-5  -5   -6*  6  -5 5* -55*-4
Oh it's what you do to   me
-3  -3   -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
Oh it's what you do to me
 -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
What you do to me

-2* 3   3     3     3    -4  -4 -4
A thou-sand miles seems pret-ty far
-4    -3    -3    -3   -3    4*    4*  4*
But they've got planes and trains and cars
 4*  -5  4* -4  -3 -3 -3  3 -2* 3  -2* 
I'd walk to you if I had no oth-er way
-3     3      3    3   3   -4  -4 -4
Our friends would all make fun of us
-4   -3    -3   -3  -3  4*  4*   4*  4*  -5
And we'll just laugh a-long be-cause we know
 4*   -4  -3  -3   3    -2*  3   -2*
That none of them have felt this way

-3 3   3  3  3   -4  -4  -4
De-li-lah I can prom-ise you
 -4  -3 -3   -3  4*  4*    4* 
That by the time we get through
 4*  -6*   6   -5  5* -5 5* -4  5*  -5
The world will nev-er ev-er be the same
-3    -5   -5 -55*…-4-3
And you're to   blame

-3   -3   -3 -3  3
Hey there De-li-lah
-2*  3  -3  -3   -3   -4   -3  3
You be good and don't you miss me
-2*  3     -3  -3    -3   -3  -3   3    -2*
Two more years and you'll be done with school
 3   -3  -3 -3  -4  -3   3    -2* 2 -2*
And I'll be mak-ing his-t’ry like I do

 3   3    3    3  2   -1   2  -2*
You know it's all be-cause of you
3   3  3   3   -3 -3 -3  -4 -2*
We can do what-ev-er we want to
 3    3   3 -2*  2   -1    2  -2*
Hey there De-li-lah here's to you
 -2*  -2*  -1   2
This one's for you

-5  -5   -6*  6  -5 5* -55*-4
Oh it's what you do to   me
-3  -3   -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
Oh it's what you do to me
-5  -5   -6*  6  -5 5* -55*-4
Oh it's what you do to   me
-3  -3   -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
Oh it's what you do to me
 -3   3 -2* 2 -2*
What you do to me
-3-4 5*-5 -6*6-55*-4
Oh   whoa   whoa
5*-3 -3 3 -2*2-2*
Oh   whoa   whoa
-33-2*2-2* 1*-1 -2*-1
Oh          oh   oh
