VERSE 1:
[A#] The bus is pulling
[D#] out, and I guess I'd better
[A#] go
Be-
[Cm]-fore I make a
[D#] grave mistake, and let my feelings
[F] show
[A#] And twenty miles a-
[D#]-way, she waits alone for
[A#] me
But
[Cm] when I try to
[D#] picture her, you're the one I
[F] see
And in an-
[D#]-other situ-
[A#]-ation, I could put
[F] up a
[D#] fight
But you will be
[F] my downfall to-^
[A#]-night
[D#] ^
[A#] [D#]
VERSE 2:
[A#] So the night is coming
[D#] down, drowing us in
[A#] blue
And
[Cm] it all points to-
[D#]-ward the things, we know we shouldn't
[F] do
[A#] And as I look at
[D#] you, and fall under your
[A#] spell
Well I
[Cm] know I should be
[D#] thinking of her, lying there her-
[F]-self
And when
[D#] faced with temp-
[A#]-tation, you know a man should
[F] stand a
[D#] fight
But
[Cm] you will be my
[F] downfall to-
[A#]-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-
[A#]-night
BREAK: ^

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