Del Amitri, Be My Downfall (1992)
Key: :[G] (w: Justin Currie)
INTRO: [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G]
VERSE 1:
[G] The bus is pulling
[C] out, and I guess I'd better
[G] go
Be-
[Am]-fore I make a
[C] grave mistake, and let my feelings
[D] show
[G] And twenty miles a-
[C]-way, she waits alone for
[G] me
But
[Am] when I try to
[C] picture her, you're the one I
[D] see
And in an-
[C]-other situ-
[G]-ation, I could put
[D] up a
[C] fight
But you will be
[D] my downfall to-
[G]-night
[C] [G] [C]
VERSE 2:
[G] So the night is coming
[C] down, drowing us in
[G] blue
And
[Am] it all points to-
[C]-ward the things, we know we shouldn't
[D] do
[G] And as I look at
[C] you, and fall under your
[G] spell
Well I
[Am] know I should be
[C] thinking of her, lying there her-
[D]-self
And when
[C] faced with temp-
[G]-tation, you know a man should
[D] stand a
[C] fight
But
[Am] you will be my
[D] downfall to-
[G]-night
CHORUS:
Be my
[Bm] downfall, be
[D] my great regret
Be the
[Am] one girl, that I'll
[D] never forget
[Am] Be my undoing, be my slow road to
[D] ruin to-
[G]-night
