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
