Tom Waits - I Hope That I Dont Fall In Love With You

G C D ( 2x )

G C D
well i hope that i dont fall in love with you
G C D
cause falling in love just makes me blue ,
C G
well the music plays and you display
Am D G
your heart for me to see ,
C G
i had a beer and now i hear you
C D
calling out for me
G C D G
and i hope that i dont fall in love with you .

G C D
well the room is crowded , people everywhere
G C D
and i wonder , should i offer you a chair?
C G
well if you sit down with this old clown ,
Am D G
take that frown and break it ,
C G
before the evenings gone away ,
Am D
i think that we could make it ,
G C D G
and i hope that i dont fall in love with you .

G C D
well the night does funny things inside a man
G C D
these old tom – cat feelings you dont understand ,
C G
well i turn around to look at you ,
Am D G
you light a cigarette ,
C G
i wish i had the guts to bum one ,
C D
but weve never met ,
G C G
and i hope that i dont fall in love with you .

G C D
i can see that you are lonesome just like me ,
G C D
and it being late , youd like some company ,
C G
well i turn around to look at you ,
Am D G
and you look back at me ,
C G
the guy youre with has up and split ,
C D
the chair next to yous free ,
G C D G
and i hope that you dont fall in love with me .

G Gsus G C D
now its closing time , the musics fading out
G C D
last call for drinks , ill have another stout .
C G
well i turn around to look at you ,
Am D G
youre nowhere to be found ,
C G
i search the place for your lost face ,
C D
guess ill have another round
G C D G
and i think that i just fell in love with you .
