 D  
 When you're rocked on the ocean
 
 D                        A  
 Rocked up and down don't worry
 
 D  
 When you're spinning and turning
 
 D                     A  
 Round and round don't worry
 
 F#m  
 You're just feeling seasick
 
 E  
 You're just feeling weak
 
 C#m  
 Your mind is confused
 
         D             D  
 And you can't seem to speak
 
 A                    D  
 It's just the motion
 
 A                    Esus E  (use D form on 4th fret)
 
 It's just the motion
 
 
 
 
 
 When the landlord is knocking
 
 And your job is losing don't worry
 
 When the baby needs rocking
 
 And your friends are confusing don't worry
 
 You're just feeling seasick
 
 You're just feeling weak
 
 Your mind is confised
 
 And you can't seem to speak
 
 It's just the motion
 
 
 
 E          D  
 Blown by a hundred winds
 
 C#m            B  
 Knocked down a hundred times
 
 D           C#m      B  
 Rescued and carried along
 
 A                        D  
 Beaten and half-dead and gone
 
          F#m      B           F#m         B  
 And it's only the pain that's keeping you sane
 
     F#m           B              E  
 And gives you the mind to travel on
 
 
 
 Oh the motion won't leave you
 
 Won't let you remain Don't worry
 
 It's a restless wind
 
 And a sleepless rain, Don't worry
 
 Under the ocean
 
 At the bottom of the sea
 
 You can't hear the storm
 
 It's as peaceful as can be
 
 It's just the motion
