    G#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#         F#/C# C#
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
         G#/D#          D#
But i just cannot stand still

'Cause the world keeps spinning

             C#
'Round and 'round

        Fm
And my heart's keeping time

        C#
To the speed of sound

       Fm                      C#
I was lost til i heard the drums

                 D#
Then i found my way


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


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

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

           G#            C#
She could shake up a man

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

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


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

       G#             C#
The motion of the ocean

        G#            C#
Or the sun in the sky

           G#             C#
You can wonder if you wanna

       G#           C#
But i never ask why

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

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


     C#/D#
That you
G#/D#  D#7  G#/D# (4 bars) G7
cant stop the beat!


G#7 (4 bars)

   G#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#         F#/C#   C#
And if they try to stop us, seaweed,
              G#/D#              D#
I'll call the N   double A   C   P!

'Cause you can't stop the beat


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

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

      G#          C#
On a saturday night

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

      G#        C#           D#
With all my might today


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

       G#             C#
The motion of the ocean

        G#            C#
Or the rain from above

            G#               C#
They can try to stop the paradise

     G#            C#
We're dreaming of

            G#               C#
But they cannot stop the rhythm

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

       C#/D#
'Cause you
