Key: D5


Verse 1:
B5                           A5   
  June was the lobster shell
              B5
I dug by hand
                        G5 
A haven that hid me well
                A5
Beneath the sand
B5                               A5
  The white windy waves washed in
                 B5
But I stayed dry
                               
The great breakers broke again
       G5             D5      A5
'Cause I'm on and off inside

Chorus:
         G5                 B5         A5
And then, when the empress run aground
                   D5          G5
And my eyes turned blue and green
                   B5   A5
I heard a gorgeous sound
                         D5        G5
And that's when it became a dream
                  B5  A5
When the sky fell in
                    D5       G5
When the hurricanes came for me
                B5         A5
I could finally crash again
                       D5       B5  G5  B5  G5  A5
And 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:
         G5                 B5         A5
And then, when the empress run aground
                   D5          G5
And my eyes turned blue and green
                   B5   A5
I heard a gorgeous sound
                         D5        G5
And that's when it became a dream
                  B5  A5
When the sky fell in
                    D5        G5
When the hurricanes came for me
                B5         A5
I could finally crash again
                       D5       
And that's how I became the sea
