Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][G][Dm][G][D][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]If you'd like to spend
the afternoon approaching [G]Lavender
You'll [Gm]feel just fine but one
[D]thing's sure
You'll never be [Asus4]the same
[D]If you'd like to try

[Verse 2]
your hand
at understanding [G]Lavender
Then you must [Gm]be v[D]ery sure
That life is not [Asus4]a game

[Verse 3]
[D]You might even learn a thing or two
approaching [G]Lavender
You'll [Gm]soon be on a one [D]night tour
Forgetting your own [Asus4]name
[D]You won't need a reason

[Verse 4]
just
to be alone with [G]Lavender
[Gm]For the light so w[D]arm and pure
Will draw you like a flame
[Asus4][D][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[D][C]
[G]The col[D]ors that surround you there will
be the shade of [G]Lavender
[Gm]Shadows dancing [D]everywhere
Like flowers in [Asus4]the rain
[D]You will find your tongue's

[Verse 6]
on fire
while lying next [G]to Lavender
With [Gm]words you never [D]spoke before
And will not speak [Asus4]again

[Verse 7]
[D]Oh sweet Lavender,
I understand you [G]perfectly
There [Gm]is no way that I [D]can see
You [G]living by your[Asus4]self
[D]Oh sweet

[Verse 8]
[D]Lavender,
I must be with you [G]constantly
Your [Gm]presence means so [D]much to me
Much more that life it[Asus4]self
[D][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 9]
[D]Oh sweet Lavender,
as fragrant as the name [G]you bear
Please [Gm]cast away [D]the clothes you wear
And give your love [Asus4]to me
[D]Oh sweet

[Verse 10]
[D]Lavender,
your smile is like [G]the golden sun
I'd [Gm]love to see you [D]laugh and run

[Interlude 1]
As naked as the sea
[Asus4][D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 11]
[D]If you'd like to spend the afternoon
approaching [G]Lavender
Don't [Gm]try and get the be[D]st of her
She will not share [Asus4]the blame
[D]If you'd like to try

[Verse 12]
your hand at
understanding [G]Lavender
[Gm]Then you must be [D]very sure
That life is not [Asus4]a game

[Outro 1]
There is no shame
[Asus4][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G]
