[F#]
VERSE 1:
[F#] The bus is pulling
[B] out, and I guess I'd better
[F#] go
Be-
[G#m]-fore I make a
[B] grave mistake, and let my feelings
[C#] show
[F#] And twenty miles a-
[B]-way, she waits alone for
[F#] me
But
[G#m] when I try to
[B] picture her, you're the one I
[C#] see
And in an-
[B]-other situ-
[F#]-ation, I could put
[C#] up a
[B] fight
But you will be
[C#] my downfall to-^
[F#]-night
[B] ^
[F#] [B]
VERSE 2:
[F#] So the night is coming
[B] down, drowing us in
[F#] blue
And
[G#m] it all points to-
[B]-ward the things, we know we shouldn't
[C#] do
[F#] And as I look at
[B] you, and fall under your
[F#] spell
Well I
[G#m] know I should be
[B] thinking of her, lying there her-
[C#]-self
And when
[B] faced with temp-
[F#]-tation, you know a man should
[C#] stand a
[B] fight
But
[G#m] you will be my
[C#] downfall to-
[F#]-night
CHORUS:
Be my
[A#m] downfall, be
[C#] my great regret
Be the
[G#m] one girl, that I'll
[C#] never forget
[G#m] Be my undoing, be my slow road to
[C#] ruin to-
[F#]-night
BREAK: ^
[F#] [B] // ^

REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
[F#] So the bus is pulling
[B] out and I'm grounded here with
[F#] you
And I
[G#m] want to say the
[B] sweet things babe I've always wanted
[C#] to
So
[B] tell me now the
[F#] tail-lights have gone
[C#] out of
[B] sight
Baby want you be my
[C#] downfall once again to-
[F#]-night
[F# open]
