Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you

'Cause falling in love jus' makes me blue

F C G C

Well the music plays and you display, Your heart for me to see

F C F G

I had a beer and now I hear you callin' out to me

C F G C

And I hope that 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 G C

Well if you sit down with this ol' clown, I'll take that frown and break it

F C F G

Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it

C F G C

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

C F G

Well the night does funny things inside a man

C F G

These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand

When I turn around to look at you, You light cigarette

I wish I had the guts to bum one, But we've never met

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you

I can see that you are lonesome just like me

C F G

And it being late you'd like some company

F C G C

Well I turn around to look at you, And you look back at me

The guy you're with has up and split, The chair next to you's free

C F G C

And I hope the you don't fall in love with me

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 G C

When 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 G C

And I think that I just fell in love with you
