Natalie Merchant & Tom Waits ? I Hope That I Don?t Fall In Love With You

G  C  D (2x)

       G                 C                 D      D
Well I hope that I don?t fall in love with you
       G            C                 D      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                    G
I had a beer and now I hear you
  C             D
Calling out for me
      G                 C                G
And I hope that I dont fall in love with you.

         G              C              D      D
Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
         G              C            D       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                      G
Before the evening?s gone away,
     Am               D
I think that we could make it,
      G                  C                G
And I hope that I don?t fall in love with you.

         G                   C             D      D
Well the night does funny things inside a man
       G                    C               D       D
These old tom-cat feelings you don?t understand,
       C                     G
Well I turn around to look at you,
    Am            G
You light a cigarette,
   C                      G
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
  C             D
But we?ve never met,
      G                  C                G
And I hope that I don?t fall in love with you.

      G                   C               D      D
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
   G                      C            D      D
And it being late, you?d like some company,
       C                     G
Well I turn around to look at you,
    Am               G
And you look back at me,
     C                  G
The guy you?re with has up and split,
    C                     D
The chair next to you?s free,
      G                    C               G
And I hope that you don?t fall in love with me.

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