A         E7
Life's An Ocean
A           E7       A         E7
Too much commotion, too much emotion
A            E7 A E7
Dragging me down
A       G     E    A               G   E
Living for today, don't have time to pray
A          G   E
Ready for the game
A               G       E7 A E7
Take a line of fickle flame

A           E
Imagine the future
     A           E
Woke up with a scream
       A           E
I was buying some feelings
        A         E A E
From a vending machine
A        G      E
Say that I will see
A                G     E
Something more than I have

         A           G       E
There's something inside of me
A               G        E
Crying out for something else
        A                 E
And if someone hears my scream
 A                    E
Put it in a letter to me

                     A   E
Slippery slimy road down
A  E                 A  E
Slippery slimy road down
A  E                 A  E
Slippery slimy road down
A  E                 A  E
Slippery slimy road down

Chorus:
Life's an ocean too much commotion
Not enough emotion to satisfy me

Slippery slidey road down
It's a slippery slidey road down
Hold my hand and we'll walk down
Dry those eyes and we'll walk down

It's a slippery slidey road down
Slippery slidey road down
Life's an ocean
Life's an ocean
Too much commotion
Too much emotion
Too much emotion
Too much emotion
Too much emotion
Too much emotion
