[G]
[D] [G]
Well, the bus is pulling [C]
out, and I guess I'd better [G]
go
[Am] Before I [C] make a grave mistake and [Am] let my feelings [D]
show
[G] And twenty miles [C] away, she waits alone [G] for me
[D] But when I try [C] to picture her, [Am] you're the one I [D] see
And [C] in another [G] situation I could [D] put up [C] a fight
[Am] But you will be [D]
my downfall [G] tonight
[C] So [G]
the night is coming [C]
down, drowning us [G] in blue
[Am] And it all points [C]
toward the things we [Am] know we shouldn't [D]
do
[G] And as I look [C] at you, and I fall under your [G]
spell
Well, I [Am] know I should [C] be thinking of her, [Am] lying there [D] herself
And when [C] faced with [G]
temptation, you know a man [D] should [C] stand and fight
[Am] But you will be [D] my downfall [G] tonight
Be [Bm] my downfall, be [D] my great regret
Be [C] the one girl that [D] I'll never forget
[Am] Be my undoing, be my sorrow [D]
to ruin [G] tonight
[C] Be [G] [C]
[Am] [D]
[Am] [G]
[Bm] my downfall, be [D] my great regret
Be [C] the one girl that [D] I'll never forget
[Bm] [Am] Be my undoing, be my sorrow [D] to ruin [G] tonight
So the bus is [C] pulling out, and I'm [G] grounded here with you
And [Am] I want to [C] say the sweet things, Dave, [Am] I've always wanted [D]
to
So [C] tell me [Em] [G] now the taillights have [D] gone out [C] of sight
Baby, [Am]
won't you be [D] my downfall once again [G] tonight?
