Intro:

G7G7  G#7G#7 (4 bars)

  G#7G#7
You cant stop an avalanche

As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
      F#/C# C#C#     F#/C# C#C#
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
     G#/D#     D#D#
But i just cannot stand still

      F minorFm
'Cause the world keeps spinning

       C#C#
'Round and 'round

    F minorFm
And my heart's keeping time

    C#C#
To the speed of sound

    F minorFm           C#C#
I was lost til i heard the drums

         D#D#
Then i found my way


    D#7D#7 G#/D# D#D# D#sus  G#G#
'Cause you can't stop the beat


   C#C#        G#G#      C#C#
Ever since this old world began

     G#G#         C#C#
A augmentedA woman found out if she shook it

      G#G#      C#C#
She could shake up a man

      G#G#         C#C#
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it

   G#G#       C#C#     D#D#
The best that i can today

    C#/D#
'Cause you
G#/D# D#7D#7
cant stop

    G#G#       C#C#
The motion of the ocean

    G#G#      C#C#
Or the sun in the sky

      G#G#       C#C#
You can wonder if you wanna

    G#G#      C#C#
But i never ask why

      G#G#        C#C#
And if you try to hold me down

      G#G#       C#C#      D#D#
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say


   C#/D#
That you
G#/D# D#7D#7 G#/D# (4 bars) G7G7
cant stop the beat!


G#7G#7 (4 bars)

  G#7G#7
You can't stop a river

As it rushes to the sea
You can try and stop the hands of time
But ya know it just can't be
      F#/C# C#C#     F#/C#  C#C#
And if they try to stop us, seaweed,
       G#/D#       D#D#
I'll call the N  double A augmentedA  C majorC  P!

      F minorFm
'Cause the world keeps spinning

       C#C#
'Round and 'round

    F minorFm
And my heart's keeping time

    C#C#
To the speed of sound

    F minorFm           C#C#
I was lost til i heard the drums

         D#D#
Then i found my way


    D#7D#7 G#/D# D#D# D#sus  G#G#
'Cause you can't stop the beat


   C#C#        G#G#       C#C#
Ever since we first saw the light

      G#G#        C#C#
A augmentedA man and woman liked to shake it

   G#G#     C#C#
On a saturday night

      G#G#         C#C#
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it

   G#G#    C#C#      D#D#
With all my might today


    C#/D#
'Cause you
G#/D# D#7D#7

    G#G#       C#C#
The motion of the ocean

    G#G#      C#C#
Or the rain from above

      G#G#        C#C#
They can try to stop the paradise

   G#G#      C#C#
We're dreaming of

      G#G#        C#C#
But they cannot stop the rhythm

    G#G#      C#C#      D#D#
Of two hearts in love to stay

    C#/D#
