Em Am (x 2)

[Em]See my love is asleep on the [Am]floor

in a pose that's familiar
[Em]See my sun will just send you to [Am]war

if the battle don't kill you

[Em]But I've a chang[Am]e in mind
[Em]Calling all[Am] the time

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_veils/lavinia_tab.html )
[Em]That I don't want to live in your [Am]side

though the rose is vermillion
[Em]And I find it so hard to [Am]survive

without when within you

[Em] My swee[Am]t Lavinia
[Em] My swee[Am]t Lavinia

[Em]All the years buried under the f[Am]loors

And the wounds in the parlour
[Em]Would have come up to greet us b[Am]efore

if it weren't for my heart because

[Em]I've her n[Am]ame in mine
[Em]And it's c[Am]alling all the time

[Em]For my swee[Am]t Lavinia
[Em] My swee[Am]t Lavinia
[Em] My swee[Am]t Lavinia
[Em] My swee[Am]t Lavinia

Em Am (x 16)

[Em]Luc[F#m]ia m[G]y [F#m]love, in t[Em]he [F#m]dark[G]ne[F#m]ss shown
[Em]Luc[F#m]ia m[G]y [F#m]love, and [Em]you[F#m]'re [G]no[F#m]t mine
[Em]Luc[F#m]ia m[G]y [F#m]love, in t[Em]he [F#m]sile[G]nc[F#m]e so long
