[Verse 1]
D6
I want to be your absolute ultimate
                         G   
Want to be your only one now
D6
Feel the wave come up from your sulkiness
                          G      D6
Feel the rays you radiate now


[Chorus 1]
D6        Bm          A5   G
Sweet and plain unsingable name
     A5       Em      G
That rings in my mind now
     A5        Em     G
That strums me like a string
Bm           A5   G
Shine, unsingable name
     A5   D6
Over everything


[Verse 2]
D6
Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and
                                   G
Watch the breeze that snaps at you now
D6
All the dogs that bark from the fences and
                          G
Everything is wanting for you
D6
Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and
                       G
Make the radiator blow now
D6
Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and
                            G
Mix the salt, the sugar and flour


[Chorus 1]
D6        Bm          A5   G
Sweet and plain unsingable name
     A5       Em      G
That rings in my mind now
     A5        Em     G
That strums me like a string
Bm           A5   G
Shine, unsingable name
     A5   D6
Over everything

[Chorus 2]
D6        Bm                   A5   G
Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom
     A5          Em     G
Some long bell's lonely ring
Bm           A5   G
Chime, unsingable name
     A5   D6
Over everything


[Verse 3]
D6
I want to see the mountains in silhouette
                            G
Want to split for Singapore now
D6
I want to see the mystery trees
                         G
Want to hear the womanly sound
D6
I want to see the mystery trees
                         G
Want to hear the womanly sound


[Chorus 1]
D6        Bm          A5   G
Sweet and plain unsingable name
     A5       Em      G
That rings in my mind now
     A5        Em     G
That strums me like a string
Bm           A5   G
Shine, unsingable name
     A5   D6
Over everything

[Chorus 2]
D6        Bm                   A5   G
Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom
     A5          Em     G
Some long bell's lonely ring
Bm           A5   G
Chime, unsingable name
     A5   D6
Over everything

[Chorus 1]
D6        Bm          A5   G
Sweet and plain unsingable name
     A5       Em      G
That rings in my mind now
     A5        Em     G
That strums me like a string
Bm           A5   G
Shine, unsingable name
     A5   D6
Over everything
