You Can't Stop the Beat

(Ab7)You can't stop an (Ab6)avalanche as it (Ab5)races down the (Ab)hill.

You can (Ab7)try to stop the (Ab6)seasons,

but you know

(Ab5)you never will.

(Ab)And you can (Gb)try to stop (Db)my (Dbsus)dancin' feet,

(Db)but I (Ebsus)just cannot stand (Eb)still.

'Cause the (Fm9)world keeps spinnin' (Db)round and round,

and my heart's (Fm9)keepin' time to the speed (Db)of sound.

I was (Fm9)lost 'til I heard the drums (Db)and I found my way.

(Ebsus)'Cause (Eb)you can't stop the beat.

Five, six, seven, (Ab)eight!

Ever (Db)since this whole (Ab)world (Db)began,

a woman (Ab)found out if she (Db)shook it,

she could (Ab)shake up a (Db)man.

And so I'm (Ab)gonna shake and (Db)shimmy it the (Ab)best that I (Db)can (Eb)today.

'Cause you can't stop the (Ab)motion of the (Db)ocean,

or the (Ab)sun in the (Db)sky.

You can (Ab)wonder if you (Db)wanna,

but I (Ab)never ask (Db)why.

If you try (Ab)to hold me (Db)down,

I'm gonna (Ab)spit in your (Db)eye,

and say (Eb)that you can't stop the beat.

(D)You (G7)can't stop a river as it rushes to the sea.

You can try to stop the hands of time,

but you know it just can't be.

And if they (Csus)try to (C)stop us,

(Csus)Artie, (C)I'll call the (G)NdoubleACP.

(D)'Cause the (Em7)world keeps spinnin' (C7)round and round,

and my (Em7)heart's keepin' time to the (C7)speed of sound.

I was (Em7)lost 'til I heard the (C)drums,

then I found my (D)way.

'Cause you can't stop the beat.

(G)Ever (C)since we first (G)saw the (C)light,

a man and (G)woman liked to (C)shake it on a (G)Saturday (C)night.

So I'm (G)gonna shake and (C)shimmy it with (G)all of my (C)might today.

(D)'Cause you can't stop the (G)motion of the (C)ocean,

or the (G)rain from (C)above.

You can try (G)to stop this (C)paradise we're (G)dreamin' of,

but you (G)cannot stop the (C)rhythm of two (G)hearts in (C)love to stay.

(D)'Cause you can't stop the beat.
