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

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