[D]Well the bus is pulling[G/B] out and I[G/B] guess I'd [D]better go
[Em]Before I make a [G/B]grave mistake and [Em]let my feelings [A]show
[D]And twenty miles [G/B]away she[G/B] waits alone for [D]me
But [Em]when I try to [G/B]picture her [Em]you're the one I [A]see
Chorus
And in [G/B]another [D]situation I could [A]put up a[G/B] fight
But [Em]you will be [A]my downfall [D]tonight
Verse 2
[D]So the night is coming[G/B] down, [G/B]drowning us [D]in blue
And [Em]it all points [G/B]towards the things we [Em]know we shouldn't [A]do
[D]And as I look at[G/B] you and I [G/B]fall under [D]your spell
Well[Em] I know I should be [G/B]thinking of her [Em]lying there [A]herself
Chorus
And when[G/B] faced with [D]temptation
You know a man should[A] stand and [G/B]fight
But [Em]you will be [A]my downfall[D] tonight

Be my [Dmaj7]downfall, be my[A] great regret,
Be the [G/B]one girl that [A]I'll never forget
[Em] Be my undoing, be my slow road [A]to ruin[D] tonight

[Em] Be my undoing, be my slow road [A]to ruin[D] tonight

So[G/B] tell me now the [D]tail-lights have gone[A] out of[G/B] sight
Baby [Em]won't you be [A]my downfall once [D]again tonight
