I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You chords by Tom Waits

D (2x)

       D
Well I hope that I don’t fall in love with you
       D
‘Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
         G
Well the music plays and you display
      G
Your heart for me to see,
  G
I had a beer and now I hear you
  D
Calling out for me
      G
And I hope that I dont fall in love with you.

         D
Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
         D
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
         G
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
   G
Take that frown and break it,
   G
Before the evening’s gone away,
     D
I think that we could make it,
      G
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

         D
Well the night does funny things inside a man
          D
These old tom-cat feelings you don’t understand,
       G
Well I turn around to look at you,
    G
You light a cigarette,
   G
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
 D
But we’ve never met,
      G
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

      D
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
   D
And it being late, you’d like some company,
       G
Well I turn around to look at you,
    G
And you look back at me,
     G
The guy you’re with has up and split,
    D
The chair next to you’s free,
      G
And I hope that you don’t fall in love with me.

     D
Now it’s closing time,            the music’s fading out
     D
Last call for drinks, I’ll have another stout.
       G
Well I turn around to look at you,
      G
You’re nowhere to be found,
   G
I search the place for your lost face,
            D
Guess I’ll have another round
      G
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
