I Hope that I Don't Fall in Love with You

Written by Tom Waits

	  		
Intro: C	F	F/G	G	(x 2) 

C                    F                     F/G              G 
Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you 
 C                 F		           F/G	    G 
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue. 
    C               G                  F              G 
Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see. 
 	   C	      G	          F              G 
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me. 
C		       F      G            C      G    Am     Bm 
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

( Well the room is crowded, people everywhere, 

And I wonder—should I offer you a chair? 

Well, if you sit down with this old clown, 

He'll take that frown and break it. 

Before the evening's gone away 

I think that we could make it, 

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. ) 

        C                  F              F/G            G 
Well, the night does funny things inside a man. 
           C               F             F/G             G 
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand. 
   C             G           F                G 
Well, I turn around to look at you; you light a cigarette. 
          C               G           F             G 
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met, 
       C                 F       G       C 	  G   Am      Bm 
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. 

        C                F                F/G        G 
I can see that you are lonesome just like me, 
       C                  F                 F/G            G 
And I'm feeling like you'd like some some company. 
        C              G                    F            G 
Well, I turn around to look at you and you look back at me. 
     C                G             F                         G 
The guy you're with has up and split, 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               F/G         G 
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out. 
      C                    F             F/G            G 
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout. 
        C             G                   F               G 
Well, I turn around to look at you; you're nowhere to be found. 
  C                                 G 
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.
