D A
When you're rocked on the ocean, rocked up and down don't worry
D A /G#
When you're spinning and turning round and round don't worry
F#m E
You're just feeling seasick, you're just feeling weak
C#m D
Your mind is confused 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 confused and you can't seem to speak
It's just the motion
It's just the motion
 
Bridge:
E D
Blown by a hundred winds
C# C#7 D B
Knocked down a hundred times, rescued and carried along
E 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
Cause 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
It's just the motion
 
Repeat Bridge and 3rd verse
