[Intro]
G
[Verse]
Em D G C
Three years at sea, the day becomes the night, the night becomes day
Am B Am G
The drowsy wind blows, and the transship rolls
B Em C
If they could lay gaze on the infinity of waves
B Em C
and the cadence of our gaze becomes our thoughts among the waves
[Chorus]
Am G D
And no one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were
Am G D
And no one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were
[Instrumental]
G
[Verse]
Em D G
Three years at sea, no news, no gazettes
E Am D G
No startling accounts of the commonplace, deluding us into excitement
C G B Em
No bankrupt securities, no decisions on dinner
G C
A sublime uneventfulness
[Chorus]
Am G D
And no one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were
G D
And no one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were
[Instrumental]
G
[Verse]
Em D G
Joy and sorrow, hope and fear
D
Heaven ground the finest dust
B C G
Patted into the clamped mortar of our Captain's iron sword
B Em C
And beneath us lurked the many monsters of the sea
B Em C
The horrors in the murk wait for me
G
And I thought I could just dip my toes in
B Em G C
I didn't think I'd lose my soul in this silver asylum
F Em F G
But I let myself disappear, I let myself disappear
[Chorus]
Am G D
And no one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were
G
And no one grew
[Instrumental]
G, D, G, D
[Outro]
G
Oh love me to sleep
D
Oh opium vacant waves
G
Oh love me to sleep
D
Oh opium vacant waves
G
Oh love me to sleep
D
Oh opium vacant waves
G
Oh love me to sleep
D
Oh opium vacant waves
