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.
