[Intro]

Bm /// | A /// | Bm /// | G / | A /

[Verse 1]
Bm A
June was the lobster shell
Bm
I dug by hand
G A
A haven that hid me well beneath the sand
Bm A
The white windy waves washed in, but I stayed dry
Bm G D A
The great breakers broke again as I nodded off inside

[Chorus]
G Bm A
And then, when the Empress run aground
D/F# G
And my eyes turned blue and green
Bm A
I heard a gorgeous sound
D G
And that's when it became a dream
Bm A
When the sky fell in
D/F# G
When the hurricanes came for me
Bm A
I could finally crash again
D Bm G A - Bm G A
And that's how I became the sea

[Verse 2]
Bm A
I wrenched the engines off and drank them down
Bm G A
The depths turned the iron soft as they swiftly drowned
Bm A
And I brought the ocean side to its rusty knees
Bm G D A
As I felt the even tide deep in my shallow dreams

[Chorus]
G Bm A
And then, when the Empress run aground
D/F# G
And my eyes turned blue and green
Bm A
I heard a gorgeous sound
D G
And that's when it became a dream
Bm A
When the sky fell in
D/F# G
When the hurricanes came for me
Bm A
I could finally crash again
D
And that's how I became the sea
