If you're a guy trying to sing this, you'll find it easier to transpose to Gm (capo 3rd
fret then as follows):
Cmaj7
The seals, they cried in jubilee
The sharks, they howled along with me
And birds, they flew into the wind
The whale, he roamed the lonely sea
And I dived into you
I dived into you
On this ocean hue
'Cause I dived into you
Em Dsus2add6 Cmaj7
Cmaj7
The lighthouse dog lifted his brow
The crippled trees bent low to growl
And swans, they wrestled with lifetime's grasp
In hopefullness they nestled the past
Teachers and travellers made their mark
They dined and feasted on whale and shark
And so the ocean lost its depths
And boredom rained as the ocean wept
Em Dsus2add6 Cmaj7
Cmaj7
Birds they raised their young for dead
And ladies used feathery pillows for bed
And black snow came and black snow stayed
And froze the ocean out of love
Em Dsus2add6 Cmaj7
Out of love
Em Dsus2add6 Cmaj7
Cmaj7
I lay quiet, next to you
Transformed a whole
Transformed anew
No longer diving into
But lying quiet next
To you
Em Dsus2add6 Cmaj7
Em Dsus2add6 Cmaj7
