I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You  -  Tom Waits
from the album 'Closing Time' (1973).
This was recently requested, so here it goes. It's not 100% accurate, but this should get you going. The lyrics were already downloaded by Johan Kristian Sveen

This fingerpicking pattern is continued through the whole song with some small
variations, like one or two extra notes, or 'connecting bass notes'.
In the chorus, the chords change, but the pattern stays roughly the same, except for the 'turnaround'.
chords during chorus:

lyrics:
C                F                 F/G
I hope that I don't fall in love with you
C           F                   F/G
Cause falling in love just makes me blue
F              C                G               C
Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
F              C              F              F/G
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out to me
C                 F        G        C     G
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
Now the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder should I offer you a chair
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
he'll 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
Now the night does funny things inside a man
These old tomcat feelings you don't understand
I turn around and look at you, you light a cigarette
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
And I can see that you are lonesome just like me
And I'm feeling like you'd like some company
Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me
The guy you're with is up and split, the chair next to you's free
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks I'll have another stout
I turn around and look at you, you're nowhere to be found
I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round
and I think that I just fell in love with you

This is the Tom Waits's song called 'I hope that I don't fall in
love with you', which I tabbed from the recording 'The Early Years'.
I think it is a faithfull transcription, at least for the beginning
of the song ( I didn't tabbed all the variations that occur after),
and for possible misprints.
I didn't write all the lyrics, because they have already been sent to
this group. ( I tabbed some others Tom Waits songs. Does it interest
anyone . I prefer answers by e-mail).

	Think you missed out the third verse.... Well the night does funny things inside a man These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand, Well I turn around to look at you, you light a 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.

	When I was a student and VERY broke, I would regularly go to this cafe where they had "sing for your supper" night. You had to entertain the people in the restaurant for at least 20 minutes, and if you weren't booed off the stage they gave you a free meal. Nearly every time I went there, I performed this song with my acoustic guitar. 20 years later, I still think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever...and I guess I always will.

No Picture M Average	#3 by M K-O at Oct 11, 2007 at 9:47 AM EST
	but the lyrics are not entirely correct

	i can't believe there are so many people in the world who aren't aware of all these amazing songs. every time i fell in love with someone, unrequited, if it was, this song would be the soundtrack to my life.
