How I Became The Sea

• Bm

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 

 
         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 

 
         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:  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 sea
