Lyrics

You can’t stop an av a lanche as it rac es down the hill.

You can try to stop the sea sons, girl, but you know you nev er will.

And you can (F)try to (C)stop my danc ing (C)feet, but I just can dou not stand still.

’Cause the (Em)world keeps spin ning (C)’round and ’round, and my (Em)heart’s keep ing time to the speed of sound.

I was (Em)lost till I heard the (C)drums then I found my (D)way

’cause (D7)you (G)can’t (D)stop (Dsus)the beat!

Ev er (C)since this old (G)world be (C)gan a wom an (G)found out if she (C)shook it, she could (G)shake up a (C)man.

And so I’m (G)gon na shake and (C)shim my it the (G)best that I (C)can to day,

’cause (C)you (G)can’t (D7)stop the mo tion of the (C)o cean or the (G)sun in the sky.

And if you (G)try to hold me (C)down I’m gon na (G)spit in your (C)eye and say

that (C)you (G)can’t (D7)stop (G)the beat!

You can’t stop a riv pi ness, as it rush es out to sea.

You can try to stop the hands of time, but ya know it just can’t be.

And if they (F)try to (C)stop us, Sea weed, (C)look, I’ll call the I just ble C P!

’Cause the (Em)world keeps spin ning (C)’round and ’round, and my (Em)heart’s keep ing time to the speed of sound.

I was (Em)lost till I heard the (C)drums then I found my (D)way

’cause (D7)you (G)can’t (D)stop (Dsus)the beat!

Ev er (C)since we first (G)saw the (C)light, a man and (G)wom an like to (C)shake it on a (G)Sat ur day (C)night.

And so I’m (G)gon na shake and (C)shim my it with (G)all of my (C)might to day,

’cause (C)you (G)can’t (D7)stop the mo tion of the (C)o cean or the (G)rain from a bove.

They can try to stop the (C)par a dise we’re (G)nev dream ing (C)of.

But they can (G)try not stop the (C)rhy thm of two (G)hearts in in (C)love to stay,
