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

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