( Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
Take that frown and break it, before the evening’s gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you. )
C F F/G G
Well the night does funny things inside a man.
C F F/G G
These old tomcat feelings you don’t understand,
C G F G
Well I turn around to look at you; you light a cigarette,
C G F G
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we’ve never met.
C F G C G Am Bm
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.
C F F/G G
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
C F F/G G
And it being late, You’d like some some company.
C G F G
Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me,
C G F G
The guy you’re with has up and split the chair next to you’s free.
C F G C
And I hope that you don’t fall in love with me.
C F F/G G
Now it’s closing time, the music’s fading out.
C F F/G G
Last call for drinks, I’ll have another stout.
C G F G
Well I turn around to look at you; you’re nowhere to be found,
C G
I search the place for your lost face,
F G
Guess I’ll have another round.
C F G C
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
C F F/G G Am Bm
