I Never Talk To Strangers - Tom Waits with Bette Midler Chords

[Gm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ Bartender, I'd like a [Fm] Manhattan, please.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ Stop [G] me [Bb] if you've heard [Ebm] this one.
[Fm] _ I feel as [Gm] though we've met before.
_ _ _ [Bb] Perhaps I [D] am mistaken.
[Fm] _ [Bb] [Fm] But it's just [Gm] that I remind you [G]
I'm
[Cm] Someone you [Fm] used to care about.
[Bb] Oh, but that was long [Gm] ago. _
Now tell me, do you really think I'd fall for that [D] old lie?
_ [Fm]
I was not born [Gm] just [Bb] yesterday.
Besides, [Eb] I never talk [Abm] to [Ebm] strangers anyway.
_ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] Well, I ain't a bad guy [Gm] [C] when you get to know [Gb] me.
[Ab]
I just thought there was really [Bb] no harm.
Hey, it was just reminding me you're in [Gm] business, [D] but
[Ab] Who asked you to [Bb] annoy [G] me [Cm] with your sad, sad [Db] repartee?
_ [Eb] Besides, I never talk to [Db] strangers [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm]
anyway.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] Your life's a dime stone [Abm] now.
_ _ [Eb] This [Gm] town is full of [Eb] guys like you.
And [Ab] you're looking for [Abm] someone _ _ [Eb] to take [Bb] the place of [Eb] her.
[G] You must be reading [Cm] my fables.
You're bitter [B] cause he left you.
That's why [Cm] you're drinking _ in his bars.
Well, [Fm] only [Ab] suckers [Eb] fall [C] in love with perfect [Fm] _ _ _ _ [D] strangers. _ _
_ It [Bb] always takes one.
I heard that.
[D] _
_ [G] One [Ab] stranger.
_ Maybe [Bb] we're just wiser now.
[Eb] Yeah, I've been around [D] the [Gm] block so [Gb] many [Fm] _ [Cm] times.
That we [Gm] don't [G] notice [Cm] that we're all just perfect strangers.
_ As long [B] as we know that [Cm] we all begin as strangers.
_ [Am] Just _ before we find [Eb] we _ _ _ begin.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ All the strangers _ _ _ _ [Bb] in the _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] world. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _
Sorry you don't look like such a chump.
Hey, baby. _ _ _
