And you [Gm] just can't stop my knife and [G] fork
When I see [Cm] Christmas hail
[Bb] So you don't like the way I [C] look
When I just don't [G] give a damn
[Am] Cause the world keeps [F] spinning round and [Am] round
And my heart keeps [F] pounding to the speed of [Am] sound
I was lost till I [F] heard the drums
And I [G] found my way

Ever [C] since the sold world began
A woman [F] found an addiction
To shake up a [C] man
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy
In the best that I [G] can do

Of [F] the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can [F] wonder if you're one

As it comes [D] spring down the track
Child, yesterday is history
[E] And it's [G] never coming
[C] Cause tomorrow it [G] [D] [Em]
won't be the [C] same
And we're [Em] gonna keep it [C] time
Cause the speed of [Em] sound
I love that I [C] heard
[D] You still [G] can't stop the beat
Ever since the first star was alight
I've been up to shaking on a Saturday night
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy
You can follow my [D] mind
Cause you [G] can't stop the marching
Of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you're one
But I'm never as fine
And if you [C] try to hold me [D] down
Cause you [Eb] can't stop the beat
As [E]
[A] far as I know
No matter how much
[D] There's no
I don't [E] work for the rich
Cause you [A] can't stop the marching
Of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you're one
But [E] I'm never as fine
You [Gbm] can't stop the beat
You can stop the beat
You [D] can stop the beat
You can [A] stop

Let's start jamming Various Artists - (Hairspray) You Cant Stop The Beat chords, familiarize yourself with these chords - Em, C, G, C, G, D, C, Em, C and F in sequence.
