[Intro] G [Verse]
               Em       D               G                        C
Three years at sea, the day becomes the night, the night becomes day

    Cm6         Am9            Cm6          G
The drowsy wind blows, and the tranced ship rolls

   B7                     C6       
We vacantly gaze on the infinity of waves

        B7                              C6                 
and the cadence of our gaze becomes our thoughts among the waves
[Chorus]
    G                                    D7
And no one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were

G                                    D7
No one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were
[Instrumental] G [Verse]
               Em      D7       G
Three years at sea, no news, no gazettes 

   E7                        Am             D7              G          G7        C
No startling accounts of the commonplace, deluding us into excitement

              G              B7         Em
No bankrupt securities, no decisions on dinner

     G13     C            Cm6
A sublime uneventfulness
[Chorus]
    G                                    D7
And no one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were

G                                    D7
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
Have been ground to finest dust

B7                      C6            Eb7            G6
Powdered in the clamped mortar of our captain's iron soul

  B7                       C6              
Beneath us lurked the many monsters of the sea

    B7                           C6
The horrors in the murk wait for me

      C9
And I thought I could just dip my toes in

         G         B7      Em           G7      C
I didn't think I'd lose my soul in this silver asylum

      Cm6               Am9   Cm6            G
But I let myself disappear, I let myself disappear
[Chorus]
G                                    D7
No one grew, and do anything new, we just became the worst of what we were

G                 D7
No one grew
[Instrumental] G D7 G D7 [Outro]
   G
Oh lull me to sleep

   D7
Oh opium vacant waves

   G
Oh lull me to sleep

   D7
Oh opium vacant waves

   G
Oh lull me to sleep

   D7
Oh opium vacant waves

   G
Oh lull me to sleep

   D7
Oh opium vacant waves
