D5                  G5
Did the ironing in a cowboy hat
        D5                      G5
Felt as fresh as the paint in this new flat
I will never tell you what to do
Have ambition simply to see things through
         D5                       G5
Did you know I could be a lot of fun
     D5                     G5
I'm aware that friendship can die young
As the glow from the street light bled
Down the Langlands Road we set off the best of friends
G5                D5
I know where I stand
G5                           D5      A5
I don't need you to hold my hand

Well, I've tried to get along with you
I have asked myself ?What are we gonna do??
I'm coming round to take a stand
Going to put us together with glue or an elastic band

I know where I stand
I don't need you to hold my hand

I am softer than my face would suggest
At times like these I'm at my lowest ebb
Now I can confide in you
If I cry to set the mood oh please could you cry too

D5
Happy New Year
                 G5
You are my only vice
                   D5
What if we compromised?
       G5
I am open

        D5           G5
Do you want to? (Yes I do)
Do you have to? (So do you)
Do you want to? (So do you)
Do you have to?
