verse 1:
Am                                Em
the soles of my shoes are worn to pieces
Dm                Em               Am
my fingertips are tired of dancing alone
Am                                   Em
the pen in my hand is running out of juice
Dm                          Em                Am
yet the lyrics seem to keep rolling off of my tongue

pre-chorus:
Dm
its a tireless melody
Em
longing to me set free

chorus:
C
you can't stop the music
Am
you can't stop the beat
F
you can't stop the rhythm
G
or the tapping of my feet
(repeat 2x)

verse 2:
Am                            Em
as i walk along, my guitar is weeping
Dm                        Em               Am
because she longs to make lovely music for me
Am                                      Em
she starts singing her song of pain and leaving
Dm                            Em                        Am
but it sounds as sweet as can be cause she's singing for me

pre-chorus:
Dm
its a tireless melody
Em
longing to me set free

chorus:
C
you can't stop the music
Am
you can't stop the beat
F
you can't stop the rhythm
G
or the tapping of my feet
(repeat 2x)

interlude:
Am Em Dm G Am Em Dm C

bridge:
Am
it's the love for the music
Dm
that keeps it going strong
Em
it's the love for the music
Am                       Dm
that nothing seems to go wrong
(repeat 2x)

chorus:
C
you can't stop the music
Am
you can't stop the beat
F
you can't stop the rhythm
G
or the tapping of my feet
(repeat 2x)
