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

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