VERSE 1:
[G#] The bus is pulling
[C#] out, and I guess I'd better
[G#] go
Be-
[A#m]-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
[A#m] 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
[A#m] 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
[A#m] 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
[A#m] you will be my
[D#] downfall to-
[G#]-night
CHORUS:
Be my
[Cm] downfall, be
[D#] my great regret
Be the
[A#m] one girl, that I'll
[D#] never forget
[A#m] Be my undoing, be my slow road to
[D#] ruin to-
[G#]-night
