C F G
Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Falling in love just makes me blue.

your heart for me to see.
F C
I had a beer and now I hear
F G
you calling out for me,
C F C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
C F G
Now, the room is crowded, people’s 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
I’ll take that frown and break it.
F C
Before the evening's gone away
F G
I think that we could make it,
C F 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 C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
C F G
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
C F G
and it being late, you'd like some company.
F C
Well, I turn around to look at you
F C
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 C
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
C F G C F G F C F C F C F G
C F C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Last call for drinks I'll have another stout.

I turn around to look at you—you're nowhere to be found.
F C F G
I search the place for your lost face—Guess I'll have another round.
C F C
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
