[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Em][C][Am][Em][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
There [Am]are cockles,
and broken glass s[G]pread across t[Em]he floor[C]
The door is wide [Am]open,
and [Em]the sand made drifts all down the [G]hall[C]
Broken [Am]pan es in the window,
re[Em]flected light in from [G]the sky[C]
This is no [Am]longer my [Em]house,
it's been [G]claimed by the [C]sea

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Em][Am][C][Am][Em][Am][C]

[Verse 2]
A starfish is [Am]dying down [Em]by
the [C]laundry
Ironically, the [Am]washing machine is [Em]half full
Of [G]seawa[C] ter washed in by[Am]
[Em]the waves at night
[G]Leaving [C]a salty [Am]snail-
like [Em]trail behind

[Verse 3]
This [C]is no [Am]longer my [Em]house,
[G]it has [C]been claimed [Am]by t[Em]he sea
[G]Claimed [C]by the sea
[Am]And it was always [G]going to
[Em]be claimed b[C]y the sea
And [Am]it was alw[Em]ays going to
be [Am]claimed [C]by the sea
[Am]And it was alway[Em]s going to be
[Am]claimed by [C]the sea
[Am][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]I've planted a gar[Am]den in as
[G]sorted [Em]pots[D]
The flowers are [Am]drooping and water
[G]logged[Em][D]
Seaweed [Am]lay in wreaths like [Em]it
was [G]Christmastime
[C]A Christmas in [Am]a house
that wasn't mine
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Been [G]claimed [C]by the sea
[Am]And it was always [Em]going to
be claimed [C]by the sea
[Am]And it was always [Em]going to be
claimed [Am]by t[C]he sea
[Am]And it was always [Em]going to be clai[Am]med by t[C]he sea
