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 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  Bm  G  A
And that's how I became the sea

Verse 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 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


Instrumental (x2):  G  Bm A  D/F# G  Bm A  D

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
