First of all let me tell you moon is not capable of lifting ocean there is misconception about it.
Gravitational pull exerted by moon is 1/10 million of earth gravity.
Now question arises how tides are created.
Actually moon exerted equal force on everything on earth regardless their masses. So why not there is tide in a cup of tea.
How it all works;-
Moon gravity pull everything toward it even complete earth.
Net resultant of both of force act tangentially remember these forces are microscopic .
These microscopic force add up and just squeeze the water as it keeps on increasing toward end that cause a tide.
