[Verse 1]
AI'll bet good money
F#mI'll bet some beautiful money
EThat we could agree
With anybody Dhere to disagree
AThat we could get up from the table
F#mAnd nobody would know
EYou could leave your mouth talking
And follow me Dout the window
AI've idled here as long as I can
F#mI've taken my entertainment like a man
I'm all riEbbons, scissors, flowers
And shaking hDands
I'm just a nAame in a black book attached to a face
At the bF#mack of your memory's window display
It's on the tEip of your tongue, I'm sure
But I must awDay
[Pre-Chorus]
Must be goAod to know peEople, who kDnow so mEany peoDple
Must be gAood to be Esomebody, gooDd to be soEmebody, tDhey know
[Chorus]
And the Afastest of Efriends, the Dfastest of fEriends
DI'm sure, we'll all be
The Afastest of Efriends, the Dfastest of fEriends
I'm sure we'll rDemainA  
[Verse 2]
ADie here in our deck chairs
F#mSurrounded by beautiful shoes
EOr hide out with me
DDown at the bottom of the swimming pool
AClimb the tower to the bell curve
F#mThat cuts and cuts so clean
EOr shoot out sharpened arrows at
DTheir family trees
ACause I know no quicker way, dear
F#mTo the shiny gates of hell
EThan a room full of handsome devils
DComparing everything to everything else
AThey just keep coming on like a driverless train
F#mI can think of nothing adorable to say
EIt's half past the hour, it looks like rain,
Ddo you like me? Can I go now?
[Pre-Chorus]
At the end Aof the yelloEw brick driDve, noboEdy waitDs for us
And on our Abacks on the Eroof of thDe car, wEatch thDe switchboard lighting up
[Chorus]
And the Afastest of Efriends, the Dfastest of fEriends
DI'm sure, we'll all be
The Afastest of Efriends, the Dfastest of fEriends
I'm sure we'll rDemain
And don't Aworry baby, tEhey won't lDet the sEhip go Ddown without us
And don't Aworry baby, tEhey won't lDet the sEhip go Ddown without us
WithDout us
I'll bet good money
I'll bet some beautiful money...

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I'll bet good money

F#m

I'll bet some beautiful money

That we could agree

With anybody here to disagree

That we could get up from the table

F#m

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

F#m

I've taken my entertainment like a man

I'm all ribbons, scissors, flowers

And shaking hands

I'm just a name in a black book attached to a face

F#m

At the back of your memory's window display

It's on the tip of your tongue, I'm sure

But I must away

[Pre-Chorus]

A E D E D

Must be good to know people, who know so many people

A E D E D

Must be good to be somebody, good to be somebody, they know

[Chorus]

A E D E

And the fastest of friends, the fastest of friends

I'm sure, we'll all be

A E D E

The fastest of friends, the fastest of friends

D A

I'm sure we'll remain

[Verse 2]

Die here in our deck chairs

F#m

Surrounded by beautiful shoes

Or hide out with me

Down at the bottom of the swimming pool

Climb the tower to the bell curve

F#m

That cuts and cuts so clean

Or shoot out sharpened arrows at

Their family trees

Cause I know no quicker way, dear

F#m

To the shiny gates of hell

Than a room full of handsome devils

Comparing everything to everything else

They just keep coming on like a driverless train

F#m

I can think of nothing adorable to say

It's half past the hour, it looks like rain,

do you like me? Can I go now?

[Pre-Chorus]

A E D E D

At the end of the yellow brick drive, nobody waits for us

A E D E D

And on our backs on the roof of the car, watch the switchboard lighting up

[Chorus]

A E D E

And the fastest of friends, the fastest of friends

I'm sure, we'll all be

A E D E

The fastest of friends, the fastest of friends

I'm sure we'll remain

A E D E D

And don't worry baby, they won't let the ship go down without us

A E D E D

And don't worry baby, they won't let the ship go down without us

Without us

I'll bet good money

I'll bet some beautiful money...
