C           
Hey there Delilah
              Em 
What's it like in New York City
        C                 
I'm a thousand miles away
           Em
But girl tonight you look so pretty
          Am     
Yes you do
F                                          Am
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
                 G
I swear it's true

C
Hey there Delilah
                    Em
Don't you worry about the distance
               C
I'm right there if you get lonely
                 Em
Give this song another listen
                 Am
Close your eyes
F                                         Am
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
                 G
I'm by your side


((Chorus chords))
C        G             Am
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

C              Am        
What you do to me

C
Hey there Delilah
                Em
I know times are getting hard
                C
But just believe me girl some day
                   Em
I'll pay the bills with this guitar
                 Am
We'll have it good
F                                                Am
We'll have the life we knew we would
                     G
My word is good

C
Hey there Delilah
               Em
I've got so much left to say
                C
If every simple song I wrote to you
             Em
Would take your breath away
              Am
I'd write it all
F                                                  Am
Even more in love with me you'd fall
                G
We'd have it all

C         G            Am
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me


**bridge:**
 F 
A thousand miles seems pretty far
   G
But they've got planes and trains and cars
  C                                            Am
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
F
Our friends would all make fun of us
G
And we'll just laugh along because
C                                                      Am
We know that none of them have felt this way
F
Delilah I can promise you
G
That by the time that we get through
Em                                   Am
The world will never ever be the same
G                  G
And you're to blame


((extended verse:))
C                                   Em
Hey there Delilah you be good And don't you miss me
               C                              
Two more years and you'll be done with school
        Em
And I'll be making history
Am
Like I do
F                                      Am
You'll know it's all because of you
Am                             
We can do whatever we want to
F                             Am
Hey there Delilah here's to you
G                           G
This one's for you

**chorus till fade out**
C         G            Am
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

C             Am           C

The chorus felt a bit weird, just with the chord order, so maybe look into changing that up, but overall really good.
