[Intro]
C F G7sus4 G7 x2
[Verse 1]
C F G7sus4 G7
Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
C F G7sus4 G7
‘Cause falling in love just makes me blue
F C
Well, the music plays and you display
G C
your heart for me to see
F C
I had a beer and now I hear you
F G7sus4 G7
calling out for me
C F G C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
[Verse 2]
C F G7sus4 G7
Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere
C F G7sus4 G7
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
F C
Well, if you sit down with this old clown,
G C
take that frown and break it
F C
Before the evening's gone away,
F G7sus4 G7
I think that we can make it
C F G C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
[Verse 3]
C F G7sus4 G7
Well, the night does funny things inside a man
C F G7sus4 G7
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
F C
Well, I turn around to look at you,
G C
you light a cigarette
F C
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
F G7sus4 G7
but we've never met
C F G C
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
[Verse 4]
C F G7sus4 G7
I can see that you are lonesome just like me
C F G7sus4 G7
And it being late, you'd like some company
F C
Well, I turn around to look at you,
G C
and you look back at me
F C
The guy you're with, he's up and split,
F G7sus4 G7
the chair next to you is free
C F G C
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me
[Verse 5]
C F G7sus4 G7
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
C F G7sus4 G7
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout
F C
Well, I turn around to look at you,
G C
you're nowhere to be found
F C
I search the place for your lost face,
F G7sus4 G7
guess I'll have another round
C F G C
And I think that I just fell in love with you
