Key: D

Verse 1

Bm June was the lobster shell A

I dug by hand Bm

A haven that hid me wellG

Beneath the sandA

Bm The white windy waves washed inA

But I stayed dry Bm

The great breakers broke again

'Cause GI'm on and offD insideA

Chorus

And then,G when the empress Bmrun agroundA

And my eyes turned D/F♯blue and greenG

I heard a gorgeous BmsoundA

And that's when it becameD a dream G

When the sky fell Bmin A

When the hurricanes D/F♯came for meG

I could finally Bmcrash againA

And that's how I becameD the seaBm G Bm G A

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

And then,G when the empress Bmrun agroundA

And my eyes turned D/F♯blue and greenG

I heard a gorgeous BmsoundA

And that's when it becameD a dream G

When the sky fell Bmin A

When the hurricanes D/F♯came for me G

I could finally Bmcrash againA

And that's how I becameD the sea
