I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

Tom Waits

Tom: C

C                 F                 G 
Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you 
      C           F                 G 
Cause falling in love just makes me blue 
         F               C                F               C 
Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see 
  F              C              F              G 
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out to me 
      C                 F       G         C 
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. 
 
        C                F           G   
Now the room is crowded, people everywhere 
      C               F           G 
And I wonder should I offer you a chair 
     F                    C 
Well if you sit down with this old clown, 
      F                   C 
he'll take that frown and break it 
  F                  C            F                   G 
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it 
    C                   F       G         C 
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you 
 
        C                F               G 
Now the night does funny things inside a man 
          C               F              G 
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand 
  F               C                F           C 
I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette 
  F              C                F               G 
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met 
      C                 F       G         C 
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you 
 
          C                F                  G 
And I can see that you are lonesome just like me 
        C                  F               G 
And I'm feeling like you'd like some company 
       F              C                F                C 
Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me 
    F                    C                 
The guy you're with he's up and split,  
    F                   G 
the chair next to you's free 
      C                   F       G         C 
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me 
 
         C                 F              G 
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out 
     C                    F            G 
Last call for drinks I'll have another stout 
  F              C                   F             C 
I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found 
  F                    C                             
I search the place for your lost face,  
           F            G 
guess I'll have another round 
      C                 F       G         C 
and I think that I just fell in love with you.
