Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Did the ironing  in a cowboy hat
 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
 Did you know  I could be a lot of fun
 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
I  know where I stand
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
Happy  New Year
 You are my only vice
 What if we compromised?
 I am open
 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?
