When you're rocked on the ocean
                        
Rocked up and down don't worry

When you're spinning and turning
                     
Round and round 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
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

          
Blown by a hundred winds
            
Knocked down a hundred times
                 
Rescued and carried along
                        
Beaten and half-dead and gone
                                   
And it's only the pain that's keeping you sane
                             
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
