Verse 1: Bm A June was the lobster shell Bm I dug by hand G A haven that hid me well A Beneath the sand Bm A The white windy waves washed in Bm But I stayed dry The great breakers broke again G D A 'Cause I'm on and off insideVerse 2 (same as verse 1): I wrenched the engines off And dragged them down The depths turned the iron soft As they swiftly drowned And I brought the ocean side To its rusty knees As I felt the even tide Deep in my shallow dreamsG 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 Bm G A And that's how I became the seaInstrumental: G Bm A D/F# G Bm A D (2x) Chorus 2: G (When the sky fell in) Bm When the sky fell in A (When the sky fell in) D/F# G When the hurricanes came for me Bm A I could finally crash again D G And that's how I became the sea Bm A (How I became the sea) D/F# G That's how I became the sea Bm A (How I became the sea) D G Bm A D/F# G Bm A D That's how I became the seaG 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
