Verse 1:
Bm (x24432@1)                         A (x02220@1) 
  June was the lobster shell
              BmI (x24432@1)dug by hand
                        G (320003@1)A haven that hid me well
                ABeneath (x02220@1)the sand
Bm (x24432@1)                             A (x02220@1) The white windy waves washed in
                 BmBut (x24432@1)I stayed dry
                               
The great breakers broke again
       G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)    A'Cause (x02220@1)I'm on and off inside

Chorus:
         G (320003@1)               Bm (x24432@1)       AAnd (x02220@1)then, when the empress run aground
                   D/F# (200232@1)        GAnd (320003@1)my eyes turned blue and green
                   Bm (x24432@1) AI (x02220@1)heard a gorgeous sound
                         D (xx0232@1)      GAnd (320003@1)that's when it became a dream
                  Bm (x24432@1)AWhen (x02220@1)the sky fell in
                    D/F# (200232@1)     GWhen (320003@1)the hurricanes came for me
                Bm (x24432@1)       AI (x02220@1)could finally crash again
                       D (xx0232@1)     Bm (x24432@1)G (320003@1)Bm (x24432@1)G (320003@1)AAnd (x02220@1)that's how I became the sea

Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
I wrenched the engines off
And dragged them down
The depths turned the iron soft
As they swiftly drowned
And I brought the ocean side
To its rusty knees
As I felt the even tide
Deep in my shallow dreams

Chorus:
         G (320003@1)               Bm (x24432@1)       AAnd (x02220@1)then, when the empress run aground

                   Bm (x24432@1) AI (x02220@1)heard a gorgeous sound
                         D (xx0232@1)      GAnd (320003@1)that's when it became a dream
