            C
When you're rocked on the ocean

Blown by a hundred winds

Knocked down a hundred times

C           Bm      A
Rescued and carried along

Beaten and half-dead and gone

         Em       A           Em          A
And it's only the pain that's keeping you sane

And gives you a mind to travel on
[Verse 3]
       C
Oh the motion won't leave you

Won't let you remain Don't worry

And a sleepless rain, Don't worry
[Chorus]
Em
Under the ocean

       D
At the bottom of the sea

You can't hear the storm

        C
It's as peaceful as can be

                       G      C
mmm hmm, It's just the motion
