Capo on 5th Fret

INTRO:   D         G          D           G          D            A     Aadd6     D

     D                           G                                  D
1. The bus is pulling out and I guess I'd better go
2. So the night is coming down, drowning us in blue

    Em                  G                       Em7                      Asus4     A
1. Before I make a grave mistake and let my feelings show
2. And it all points toward the things we know we shouldn't do

   D                                G  			  D
1. And twenty miles away she waits alone for me
2. And as I look at you and fall under your spell
3. So the bus is pulling out and I'm grounded here with you

   Em                            G           Em7              A
1. But when I try to picture her you're the one I see
2. Well I know I should be thinking of her lying there herself.
3. And I want to say the sweet things babe I've always wanted to

             G              D                       A                G
1. And in another situation I could put up a fight,
2. And when faced with temptation you know a man should stand a fight
3. So tell me now the tail-lights have gone out of sight,

  Em7                          Asus4    A
1. But you will be my downfall tonight.
2. But you will be my downfall tonight.
3. Baby won?t you be my downfall once again tonight.

********************************************************************************************************
This is a relatively simplified version as there are many subtle hammer-ons happening, but once again apologies to previous submissions, but I feel this is a little closer to the original.
PLEASE NOTE that the actual key is 2 and a half tones higher. The chords written are as if the capo is the nut,
it just makes it a little easier to follow.

Non standard Chords used.
A add 6   =  Just play A with an added F# on the top string
Em7add2 = Just play Em with an added F# on the top string, a D on the second string aswell if you like.

Good luck - enjoy.
