[A] [C]
[E] You're the one I see

I could put [D] up a [C] fight
But [Am] you will be [D] my downfall tonight
[C] So [G]
the night is coming down
The [C] drowning [D] was in bloom
And [A] it all points [D] to all [C] the things we [E] know we should [A] do
[D] And as I look at you

You know a man [D] should stand a fight
[A] But you will [D] be my downfall tonight

Picks you up and crowns you king [D] of the ring
