1. I don't know why, I don't know why
I'm so afraid, so afraid.
And I don't know how, I don't know how
To fix the pain, fix the pain.
We're livin' a lie, livin' a lie
We just need to change, need to change.
'Cause we're out of time, we're out of time,
And it's still the same.

R: You can't stop the world,
But there's so much more that we can do.
You can't stop this girl from falling more
in love with you.
You said nobody has to know if
it's time to go and take it slow.
But I can't stop the world
If they finally let us be alone.


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...
Let us be alone. Let us be alone...
Alone, ooh, ohh, weee-ah. Alone...
