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 A  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
