Well I | [G] think that there's a | problem here
her | [G] voice just don't sound | right
but I | [G] left myself on her | answering machine
said "I'm | [G] back in town to- | night."
I feel I've | [C] stepped out of the | wilderness
all | [C] squint- eyed and con- | fused
but even | [G] babies raised by | wolves they know
e- | [G] xactly when they've been | used
Chorus
See | [C] when it starts to | [D] fall apart,
man it | [G] really falls a- | part
like | [C] boots or hearts, oh | [D] when they start
they | [G] really fall a- | part
| [G] Fingers and toes, | fingers and toes,
| [G] forty things we | share
| [G] forty- one if | you include,
the | [G] fact that we don't | care
Now you've | [C] blocked off most of | main street
| [C] for your faith pa- | rade
| [G] everyone in town now, they | probably all agree
I'm | [G] lying in the bed I | made
Chorus
See | [C] when it starts to | [D] fall apart,

we | [G] got some air to | clear
we'd | [G] probably only agree on one | thing anyway
that's what the | [G] hell is happening | here?
| [C] Fingers and toes, | fingers and toes
| [C] forty things we | share

Some- [G] body once [D] told me the [Am] world is gonna [C] roll me
I [G] ain't the sharpest [D] tool in the [Am] shed [C]
She was [G] looking kinda [D] dumb with her [Am] finger and her [C] thumb
in the [G] shape of an "L" [D] on her fore- [Am] head [C]
Well the [G] years start coming and they [D] don't stop coming
[Am] Back to the rules and I [C] hit the ground running
[G] Didn't make sense not to [D] live for fun
Your [Am] brain gets smart but your [C] head gets dumb
Pre-Chorus
[G] So much to do so [D] much to see
So what's [Am] wrong with taking the [C] back streets
You'll [G] never know if you don't [D] go
You'll [Am] never shine if you don't [C] glow
Chorus
[G] Hey now you're an [D] All Star get your [Am] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [D] Rock Star get the [Am] show on get [C] paid
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [Am] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the mo- [C] old
It's a [G] cool place and they [D] say it gets colder
You're [Am] bundled up now but wait [C] 'til you get older
But the [G] media men beg to [D] differ
Judging by the [Am] hole in the satellite [C] picture
The ice we [G] skate is getting pretty [D] thin
The water's getting [Am] warm so you might as well [C] swim
My world's on [G] fire how about [D] yours
That's the way I [Am] like it and I never get [C] bored
Chorus
[G] Hey now you're an [D] All Star get your [Am] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [D] Rock Star get the [Am] show on get [C] paid

| [D] [G] | [A] | [A]
Well, I | [D] hope that I don't [G] fall in love with | [A] you | [A]
'Cause | [D] falling in [G] love just makes me | [A] blue | [A]
Well the | [G] music plays and [D] you display
Your | [Em] heart for me to [D] see,
I | [G] had a beer and [D] now I hear
You | [1/2Em] calling out for | [A] me | [A] |
And I | [D] hope that I don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with | [D] you. | [D]
Well, the | [D] room is crowded, there's [G] people every- | [A] where | [A]
And I | [D] wonder, should I [G] offer you a | [A] chair? | [A]
Well, if | [G] you sit down with [D] this old clown,
I'll | [Em] take that frown and [D] break it,
Be- | [G] fore the evening's [D] gone away,
I | [1/2Em] think that we could | [A] make it, | [A]
And I | [D] hope that I don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with | [D] you. | [D]
I can | [D] see that you are [G] lonesome just like | [A] me | [A]
and it | [D] being late, you'd [G] like some compa- | [A] ny | [A]
Well | [G] I've had two, I [D] look at you,
And | [Em] you look back at [D] me
The | [G] guy you're with has [D] up and split,
The | [1/2Em] chair next to you is | [A] free | [A]
And I | [D] hope that you don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with | [D] me. | [D] |

Now the | [D] night does funny [G] things inside a | [A] man | [A]
These old | [D] tomcat feelings [G] you don't under- | [A] stand | [A]
I | [G] turn around and [D] look at you, you | [Em] light a cigar- [D] ette
I | [G] wish I had the [D] guts to bum one, | [1/2Em] but we've never | [A] met | [A]
And I | [D] hope that I don't [G↓] fall in [A↓] love with | [D] you. | [D]
Now it's | [D] closing time, the [G] music's fading | [A] out | [A]
Last | [D] call for drinks I'll [G] have another | [A] stout | [A]
I | [G] turn around and [D] look at you, you're | [Em] nowhere to be [D] found
I | [G] search the place for [D] your lost face,
I | [1/2Em] guess I'll have another | [A] round | [A]
And I | [D] think that I just [G↓] fell in [A↓] love with | [D] you | [D]
