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
