G                 Am
1. I don't know why, I don't know why
   F
   I'm so afraid, so afraid.
   G                    Am
   And I don't know how, I don't know how
   F
   To fix the pain, fix the pain.
   G                  Am
   We're livin' a lie, livin' a lie
   F
   We just need to change, need to change.
   G                        Am
   'Cause we're out of time, we're out of time,
   F
   And it's still the same.  
   
           G            Am
R: You can't stop the world,
                 C                 F
   But there's so much more that we can do.
                         G           Am         
   You can't stop this girl from falling more
     C              F
   in love with you.
             G          Am                      
   You said nobody has to know if
                C               F
   it's time to go and take it slow.
               G             Am
   But I can't stop the world
            C             F
   If they finally let us be alone.
   
   G Am C F
     
2. Hearin' the noise, hearin' the noise
   From all of them, from all of them.
   And I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge
   Of breakin' down, breakin' down.
   G (1x brnknout)
   Like Bonnie and Clyde,
   Am (1x brnknout)
   Let's ride...
   F (1x brnknout)
   And take this town.
   So keep it alive, keep it alive
   Don't make a sound.
R: You can't stop the world...
   
   G (1x brnknout)             Am (1x brnknout)
*: If the world won't take that final blow,
   G (1x brnknout)   Am (1x brnknout)
   I'll turn another page
   F (1x brnknout)
   It won't close the book.
R: You can't stop the world...
   C                      F
   Let us be alone. Let us be alone...
   G, Am, C, F (3x)
   Alone, ooh, ohh, weee-ah. Alone...
