[Verse 1]
D6I want to be your absolute ultimate
Want to be your only one Gnow
D6Feel the wave come up from your sulkiness
Feel the rays you radiate GnowD6  
[Chorus 1]
D6Sweet and Bmplain unsingA5able Gname
That A5rings in Emmy mind Gnow
That A5strums me Emlike a Gstring
BmShine, unsingA5able Gname
Over A5everyD6thing
[Verse 2]
D6Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and
Watch the breeze that snaps at you Gnow
D6All the dogs that bark from the fences and
Everything is wanting for Gyou
D6Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and
Make the radiator blow Gnow
D6Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and
Mix the salt, the sugar and Gflour
[Chorus 1]
D6Sweet and Bmplain unsingA5able Gname
That A5rings in Emmy mind Gnow
That A5strums me Emlike a Gstring
BmShine, unsingA5able Gname
Over A5everyD6thing

D6Slushing, Bmsleeting through the A5blue Ggloom
Some A5long bell's Emlonely Gring
BmChime, unsingA5able Gname
Over A5everyD6thing
[Verse 3]
D6I want to see the mountains in silhouette
Want to split for Singapore Gnow
D6I want to see the mystery trees
Want to hear the womanly Gsound
D6I want to see the mystery trees
Want to hear the womanly Gsound
[Chorus 1]
D6Sweet and Bmplain unsingA5able Gname

Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and

Watch the breeze that snaps at you now

Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and

Mix the salt, the sugar and flour

Want to split for Singapore now

I want to see the mystery trees

Want to hear the womanly sound

I want to see the mystery trees

Want to hear the womanly sound
