[Intro] G  G#  

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

           Fm
'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#   G#/D#      D#4      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#
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#   G7
Cant stop the beat!

( G#7 )

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

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#
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
G#/D#  D#7  G#/D#  F#7
Cant stop the beat!
