Artist: Owl City Album: All Things Bright And Beautiful (iTunes bonus track) Song: How I Became The Sea 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 ^GI'm on and off^D inside^A Chorus: And then,^G when the empress ^Bmrun aground^A And my eyes turned ^D/F#blue and green^G I heard a gorgeous ^Bmsound^A And that's when it became^D a dream ^G When the sky fell ^Bmin ^A When the hurricanes ^D/F#came for me^G I could finally ^Bmcrash 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 ^Bmrun aground^A And my eyes turned ^D/F#blue and green^G I heard a gorgeous ^Bmsound^A And that's when it became^D a dream ^G When the sky fell ^Bmin ^A When the hurricanes ^D/F#came for me ^G I could finally ^Bmcrash again^A And that's how I became^D the sea

(When the ^Gsky fell in) When the sky fell ^Bmin (When the ^Asky fell in) When the hurricanes ^D/F#came for me ^G I could finally ^Bmcrash 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
