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

       C          F                  G
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,

         F               C
Well the music plays and you display

     F               C
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
Well, the room is crowded, there's people 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
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've had two, I look at you,

    F                C
and you look back at me,

    F                   C        
The guy you're with has up and split,

    F                    G
the chair next to you is 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.

        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
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out

     C                    F            G
Last call for drinks I'll have another stout

  F               C                   F             C
I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found

  F                    C                 F                       G
I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round

      C                 F                 C
and I think that I just fell in love with you
