I Never Talk To Strangers Chords by Tom Waits

[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ Bartender, I'd like the Manhattan, [Fm] please.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ Stop me [Gb] if you've heard this [Ebm] one.
[Ab] [Fm] I feel [Gm] as though we've met before. _ _ _
[Bb] Perhaps I [D] am mistaken.
[Fm] _ [Bb] [Fm] But it's just that I [Gm] remind you [G] of
[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 yesterday.
[Bb] Besides, [Eb] I never _ talked [Abm] to [Ebm] strangers in this way.
_ [F] _
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] Well, I ain't a bad guy [Gm] when you [C] get to know [G] me.
_ [Fm] But you start there, there ain't [Bb] no hope.
Hey, just remind me of your [Gm] business partner
[Ab] Who asked you to [Bb] annoy me
[G] With your [Cm] sad, sad [Db] repartee.
Besides, [Eb] I never talked [Db] to strangers [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ in this way.
[Ab] Your life's a dime [Abm] stone novel.
_ _ [Eb] This [Bb] town is full of guys [Eb] like you.
_ And you're looking [Ab]
for [Abm] someone _ _ [Eb] to take [Bb] the place of [Eb] her.
You must [G] be reading [Cm] my mail.
You're bitter [B] cause he left you.
That's [Cm] why you're drinking _ in this bar.
[Fm] Well, only [Ab] suckers [Eb] fall [C] in love
With [Fm] perfect strangers.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ It always takes one _
To know one [G] [Ab] stranger.
_ Maybe we're [Bb] just wiser now
[Eb] Yeah, been around
[Gm] Like so [Gb] many [Cm] times
That we [Gm] don't notice
[G] _ [Cm] That we're all just perfect strangers
_ As long [B] as we know
_ [Cm] That we're all beginners
_ _ _ Just [Am] _
before we _ find [Eb] Three
_ _ _ _ Or _ _ [Fm] _ strangers _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ Anymore.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ You _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ don't look like such a chump.
Hey, babe. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
