[Verse]
F#m D
It's funny how i fell into your arms
A E
Thinking if i never left Toronto
F#m D
I wouldn't be this high
A
Just a voice in disguise
E
You changed my life
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
Driving through LA to pass time
D
Palm trees on the edge of my eyes right now
A
Hit Venice at the right time
E
If i didn't meet you i'd die
F#m D
You and I we're meant to be
A
Our love outlasts history
E
Our bond is strong
[Chorus 1]
F#m
I bet you never knew
D
We met on Ocean Avenue
A
Right down in Santa Monica
E
It's where our souls first touched
F#m
Felt like a thousand marching bands
[Kardinal Offishal Verse]
When I saw your face for the first time
D
When I was without you them were the worst times
A
That's what I found when I got to know you
E
Dem gyal nuh like you dem wi haffe (a)llow you
F#m
I seem distant at times lemme show you
D
That it's a defence mechanism that I go through
A
Only the most high I put before you
E
I just waan fi love you not control you
F#m D
You and I were made for each other from the start
A
Take off the safety aim at the heart
E
Insecurity may take us apart and I'm
F#m D
Unsure that there is even a cure for this pure feeling
I be in the clubs it ain't appealing
A E
You are the real and there's something that I think I oughta tell you
[Chorus 1 & 2]
F#m
I bet you never knew
D
We met on Ocean Avenue
A
Right down in Santa Monica
E
It's where our souls first touched
F#m
Felt like a thousand marching bands
D
Played through the bedding of the sand
A
Right down in Santa Monica
E
It's where our souls first touched
[Bridge]
A E
You and I we shout out loud
F#m
"This is the best day"
Into the best night
D
To the best time we ever had
A
It all just came to my head
E
When you laughed at me and said
F#m
"This is the best day"
Into the best night
D
To the best time we ever had
[Chorus 1 & 2]
F#m
I bet you never knew
D
We met on Ocean Avenue
A
Right down in Santa Monica
E
It's where our souls first touched
F#m
Felt like a thousand marching bands
D
Played through the bedding of the sand
A
Right down in Santa Monica
E
It's where our souls first touched
