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

REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
[Gb] So the bus is pulling
[B] out and I'm grounded here with
[Gb] you
And I
[Abm] want to say the
[B] sweet things babe I've always wanted
[Db] to
So
[B] tell me now the
[Gb] tail-lights have gone
[Db] out of
[B] sight
Baby want you be my
[Db] downfall once again to-
[Gb]-night
[Gb open]
