C     Em    G        Am
When I said I had to go

C           Em          G           Am
You held me back with a hand on my cloak

C     Em  G         Am
"Darling" you say to me

C             Em     G            Am
"Please don't leave, think of our babe."
[Verse 2]
C          Em   G       Am
Shoved me back into the house

C        Em   G                Am
Held me down, forced me into a blouse

C      Em  G        Am
"Darling, listen to me

C        Em       G           Am
Here you belong, and here you will stay!"
[Pre-chorus]
C    Em       G      Am
But I snuck out under stars,

C      Em     G   Am
attempting to get far!
[Chorus]
C              Em         G           Am
Don't look for me in the wind but the sea

C             Em      G       Am
I've gone to find my own, my kind

C       Em     G     Am
'Cause I'm not of your world,

C    Em    G    Am
I'm not a human girl!
[Verse Three]
C        Em   G       Am
Took me in, after the storm

C       Em    G          Am
Held me close when I was forlorn

C      Em   G         Am
Hid my coat beneath my bed

C        Em   G        Am
Burried deep inside my chest
[Pre-chorus]
C    Em    G     Am
A longing for my death

C    Em    G     Am
To sink into the depths
[Chorus]
C              Em         G           Am
Don't look for me in the wind but the sea

C             Em      G       Am
I've gone to find my own, my kind
[Chorus two]
C          Em         G       Am
Search for me but I've hidden deep

C           Em         G            Am
You call my name, but that name has changed!

C    Em   G  Am
(ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
[Verse four]
C               Em    G                     Am
Take care of my boy, 'cause I won't be your toy.

C        Em    G              Am
All your harpoons have proven void.

C       Em     G                Am
Fool me once, you won't fool me twice.

C       Em     G               Am
Told me lies, then you made me your wife!
[Pre-chorus]
C    Em     G     Am
You took my heart away

C    Em    G       Am
Then asked why I won't stay!

I've gone to find my own, my kind

C    Em    G    Am
I'm not a human girl!
