Motion Sickness

Key: E Minor Tempo: 110 BPM – upbeat funk with syncopated bass, horn hits, and a slinky groove Style: Soul-funk with vintage rhythm and modern swagger

[Intro – Instrumental Groove]

Em – A – D – B7
(Bass pops, guitar wahs, horn stabs) “Uh! Let’s ride!”

[Verse 1]

Em – A
You hit my life like a runaway train
D – B7
No brakes, no signal, just joy and pain
Em – A
Tried to stand still, but the floor gave out
D – B7
Your kiss spins me in a love whiteout

[Pre-Chorus]

Cmaj7 – Bm7 – Em
Girl, you move like a storm on fire
Cmaj7 – Bm7 – A
Every beat just takes me higher

[Chorus]

Em – A – D – B7
Got me caught in your motion sickness
Spinnin’ fast with your sweet slickness
You’re a vibe, a ride, I can't resist this
But oh, girl—this love’s got witnesses

Em – A – D – B7
Speedin’ through like a midnight mission
Heart’s on tilt, no intermission
Up, down, round—I lost my fitness
But I’ll take the spin for your motion sickness

[Verse 2]

Em – A
You walk in like funk royalty
D – B7
All eyes twist, but you look at me
Em – A
Your rhythm’s got my compass broke
D – B7
But I’ll chase your soul through every smoke

[Pre-Chorus]

Cmaj7 – Bm7 – Em
This ain’t no slow jam fantasy
Cmaj7 – Bm7 – A
It’s you and me in hyper-reality

[Chorus]

Em – A – D – B7
Got me caught in your motion sickness
Spinnin’ fast with your sweet slickness
You’re a vibe, a ride, I can't resist this
But oh, girl—this love’s got witnesses

Em – A – D – B7

Crash and burn or ride to blissness
Every turn’s another hit list
Up, down, round—I lost my fitness
But I’ll take the spin for your motion sickness

[Bridge – Breakdown Funk Groove]

F#m7 – G#m7 – A – B
(Spoken/sung with attitude)
I’m swayin’, delayin’, replayin’ this ride
Feelin’ your rhythm deep inside
No seatbelt, no warning sign
Just you and me, baby, burnin’ time

[Final Chorus – Big Finish]

Em – A – D – B7
Motion sickness, I’m addicted
Your spell? Completely self-inflicted
Can’t slow down, no way to fix this
But I’m all in for your motion sickness

[Outro – Funk Fade-Out]

(Horn blasts, bass solo, crowd claps, looped groove)
“Ohhh, I’m spinnin’… and I don’t wanna stop…”
