Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I'd like  that  if we could cycle down  some lane
 I'd like  that  if we could ride  into  the rain
 No macs, getting wet
 I'd be your Albert  if you'd be  Victoria,  ha ha
 We'd laugh  because each drop  would make me grow  up really high,
 really high like a really  high thing
 Say, a sunflower
 Note: the guitar chord(s) for the word "sunflower" are hard to hear
 because the big vocal harmony kind of covers everything. I think a
 basic E will work, but you could also try E B/E (E for "sun" and
 B/E for "flower") which is the basic harmony of the vocal part.
 I'd like  that
 (Same chords as verse 1)
 I'd like that
  What would you like?
 If we could lay before my fire
 I'd like that
  What would you like?
 If you could slide me from this wire
 Toasting fork, I'll be done
 I wouldn't Hector if you'd be Helen of Troy, oh boy
 We'd laugh because each flame would make me grow up
 Really high, really high like a really high thing
 Say, a sunflower
 I'd like  that
I'd  smile so much my face would crack  in two
Then  you could fix it with your kissing  glue
 I'd like that
 Yes, I'd like that
 (Same chords as verse 1, exceot where indicated)
 I'd like that
  What would you like?
 If we could float away in bed
 I'd like that
  What would you like?
 If I could row your heart and head
 With you laid on one arm
 I'd be your Nelson if you'd be my Hamilton, what fun
 We'd laugh because each stroke would make me grow up
 Really high, really high like a really high thing
 Say, a sunflower
 Say, a sunflower
 Let me hear you say  it!
 Say a sunflower  I became
 I'd be growing  in your rain
 repeat the  sequence to fade, (with optional
 fast flamenco-ish strums and hand-claps!)
 Chord Shapes
 Note that for quite a few of these shapes, only the lowest
 three notes are strummed - e.g the A chord is more or less
 played as  (x022xx).
