When you're spinning and turning
D MajorD           A augmentedA
Round and round don't worry
    F# minorF#m
You're just feeling seasick
    E MajorE
You're just feeling weak
   C# minorC#m
Your mind is confused
    D MajorD       D MajorD
And you can't seem to speak
       A augmentedA    D MajorD
It's just the motion

It's just the motion

Bridge:
E MajorE     D MajorD
Blown by a hundred winds
C# minorC#m      BB
Knocked down a hundred times
D MajorD      C# minorC#m   BB
Rescued and carried along
E MajorE            D MajorD
Beaten and half-dead and gone
     F# minorF#m   BB      F# minorF#m     BB
And it's only the pain that's keeping you sane
  F# minorF#m      BB       E MajorE
And gives you the mind to travel on

Verse 3:
    D MajorD
Oh the motion won't leave you
   D MajorD          A augmentedA
Won't let you remain Don't worry
    D MajorD
It's a restless wind
   D MajorD           A augmentedA
And a sleepless rain, Don't worry
   F# minorF#m
‘cos under the ocean
    E MajorE
At the bottom of the sea
  C# minorC#m
You can't hear the storm
    D MajorD        D MajorD
It's as peaceful as can be
A augmentedA            D MajorD
It's just the motion
A augmentedA            D MajorD
It's just the motion
