How I Became the Sea Owl City
Key: D
Verse 1:
[Bm] June was the lobster shell[A]
I dug by hand[Bm]
A haven that hid me well[G]
Beneath the sand[A]
[Bm] The white windy waves washed in[A]
But I stayed dry[Bm]
The great breakers broke again
'Cause [G]I'm on and off[D] inside[A]
Chorus:
And then,[G] when the empress [Bm]run aground[A]
And my eyes turned [D/F#]blue and green[G]
I heard a gorgeous [Bm]sound[A]
And that's when it became[D] a dream[G]
When the sky fell [Bm]in[A]
When the hurricanes [D/F#]came for me[G]
I could finally [Bm]crash again[A]
And that's how I became[D] the sea[Bm] [G] [Bm] [G] [A]
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:
And then,[G] when the empress [Bm]run aground[A]
And my eyes turned [D/F#]blue and green[G]
I heard a gorgeous [Bm]sound[A]
And that's when it became[D] a dream[G]
When the sky fell [Bm]in[A]
When the hurricanes [D/F#]came for me[G]
I could finally [Bm]crash again[A]
And that's how I became[D] the sea
Instrumental (x2): G Bm A D/F# G Bm A D
Chorus 2:
(When the [G]sky fell in)
When the sky fell [Bm]in
(When the [A]sky fell in)
When the hurricanes [D/F#]came for me[G]
I could finally [Bm]crash again[A]
And that's how I became[D] the sea[G]
(How I became[Bm] the sea[A])
That's how I becam[D/F#]e the sea[G]
(How I became[Bm] the sea[A])
That's how I became[D] the sea[G] [Bm] [A] [D/F#] [G] [Bm] [A] [D]
