D5 G/B
Well the bus is pulling out
G6/B D5
and I guess I'd better go
Em7 G
Be - fore I make a grave mistake
Em7 Asus4 A
and let my feelings show
D5 G/B
And twenty miles a - way
G6/B D5
she waits alone for me
Em7 G
But when I try to picture her
Em7 Asus4 A
you're the one I see
G/B D5
And in an - other situ - ation I
D5 A G/B
could put up a fight
Em7 A A7 D5
But you will be my down - fall to - night.

D5 G/B
So the night is coming down,
G6/B D5
drowing us in blue
Em7 G
And it all points to - ward the things we
Em7 Asus4 A
know we shouldn't do
D5 G/B
And as I look at you
G6/B D5
and fall under your spell
Em7 G
Well I know I should be thinking of her
Em7 Asus4 A
lying there her - self
G/B D5
And when faced with temp - tation
D5 A G/B
you know a man should stand a fight
Em7 A A7 D5
But you will be my down - fall to - night.
