G  C  D (2x)

       G                 C                 D
Well I hope that I don’t 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              G
Your heart for me to see,
  C              Bm          G
I had a beer and now I hear you
  C             D
Calling out for me
      G                 C       D5        G
And I hope that I dont fall in love with you.

         G              F              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                 G
Take that frown and break it,
   C                 Bm     G
Before the evening’s gone away,
     Am            C       D
I think that we could make it,
      G                  C       D5        G
And I hope that I don’t 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 don’t understand,
       C                     Bm
Well I turn around to look at you,
    Am            G
You light a cigarette,
   C              Bm         G
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
  C             D
But we’ve never met,
      G                  C       D5        G
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

      G                   F               D
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
   G                      C            D
And it being late, you’d like some company,
       C                     Bm
Well I turn around to look at you,
    Am               G
And you look back at me,
     C                  Bm        G
The guy you’re with has up and split,
    C                     D
The chair next to you’s free,
      G                    C       D        G
And I hope that you don’t fall in love with me.

     Gm                       C         Dsus4
Now it’s closing time, the music’s fading out
     G                      C             D
Last call for drinks, I’ll have another stout.
       C                      Bm
Well I turn around to look at you,
      Am               G
You’re nowhere to be found,
   C                 Bm           G
I search the place for your lost face,
       C                  D
Guess I’ll have another round
      G                  C       D         G
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
