VERSE 1:
[A] The bus is pulling
[D] out, and I guess I'd better
[A] go
Be-
[Bm]-fore I make a
[D] grave mistake, and let my feelings
[E] show
[A] And twenty miles a-
[D]-way, she waits alone for
[A] me
But
[Bm] when I try to
[D] picture her, you're the one I
[E] see
And in an-
[D]-other situ-
[A]-ation, I could put
[E] up a
[D] fight
But you will be
[E] my downfall to-^
[A]-night

VERSE 2:
[A] So the night is coming
[D] down, drowing us in
[A] blue
And
[Bm] it all points to-
[D]-ward the things, we know we shouldn't
[E] do
[A] And as I look at
[D] you, and fall under your
[A] spell
Well I
[Bm] know I should be
[D] thinking of her, lying there her-
[E]-self
And when
[D] faced with temp-
[A]-tation, you know a man should
[E] stand a
[D] fight
But
[Bm] you will be my
[E] downfall to-
[A]-night
CHORUS:
Be my
[C#m] downfall, be
[E] my great regret
Be the
[Bm] one girl, that I'll
[E] never forget
[Bm] Be my undoing, be my slow road to
[E] ruin to-
[A]-night
