Happy New Year

	  		

         D                  G 
Did the ironing in a cowboy hat 
        D                      G 
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 
         D                       G 
Did you know I could be a lot of fun 
     D                     G 
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 
G                D 
I know where I stand 
G                           D      A 
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 
                 G 
You are my only vice 
                   D 
What if we compromised? 
       G 
I am open 

        D           G 
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?
