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

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