VERSE 1:
[D#] The bus is pulling
[G#] out, and I guess I'd better
[D#] go
Be-
[Fm]-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
[Fm] 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
[G#] ^
[D#] [G#]
VERSE 2:
[D#] So the night is coming
[G#] down, drowing us in
[D#] blue
And
[Fm] 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
[Fm] 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
[Fm] you will be my
[A#] downfall to-
[D#]-night
CHORUS:
Be my
[Gm] downfall, be
[A#] my great regret
Be the
[Fm] one girl, that I'll
[A#] never forget
[Fm] Be my undoing, be my slow road to
[A#] ruin to-
[D#]-night
BREAK: ^
[D#] [G#] // ^

REPEAT CHORUS:
