Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'll  bet good money
I'll  bet some beautiful money
That  we could agree
 With anybody here  to disagree
That  we could get up from the table
And  nobody would know
You  could leave your mouth talking
 And follow me  out the window
I've  idled here as long as I can
I've  taken my entertainment like a man
 I'm all ribbons,  scissors, flowers
 And shaking  hands
 I'm a name  and a black book
 Attached  to a face
 At the back  of your memory's
 Window display
 It's on the tip  of your tongue, I'm sure
 But I must away
Must  be good to know people
 Who know so many people
 Must be good  to be somebody,
Good  to be somebody
They  know
 And the fastest  of friends,  the fastest  of friends
I'm  sure, we'll all be
 The fastest  of friends,  the fastest  of friends
 I'm sure we'll remain
Die  here in our deck chairs
Surrounded  by beautiful shoes
Or  hide out with me
Down  at the bottom of the swimming pool
Climb  the tower to the bell curve
That  cuts and cuts so clean
Or  shoot out sharpened arrows at
Their  family trees
Cause  I know no quicker way, dear
To  the shiny gates of hell
Than  a room full of handsome devils
Comparing  everything to everything else
 And the fastest  of friends,  the fastest  of friends
I'm  sure, we'll all be
 The fastest  of friends,  the fastest  of friends
 I'm sure we'll remain
