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

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