[Verse 1]
[G]And[F] so[C][G][F][C]
[G]Norman
decides to stop living
[F]Out [C]his fantasy of being [G]a rock star and
Ac[F]cept [C]rea[G]lity. This i[F]s the end for
Nor[C]man but [G]not for us
because there

[Verse 2]
Will always [F]be someone ready to [C]take
[F]His place -- after all, euerybody's a
Star!
You Can't [C]Stop The Mu[G]sic

[Verse 3]
[F]Let's [C]all[G][F][C]
[G]raise a glass
To [F]the [C]rock [G]stars of [F]the [C]past,

[Verse 4]
Those [G]that made it,
Those that [F]faded,
[C]Those that nev[G]er even
made the [F]grade,[C]
Those that [F]we thought
would never last.

[Verse 5]
Singers come and go, [C]An
d stars fade away.
They vanish in [G]the [F]haz[C]e[G][F]
[C]And the[G]y're never seen again,

[Verse 6]
But [F]the music just [C]keeps
playing on.
[G]They can't stop the mu[F]sic,
They can't [C]stop the music,
They [F]can't stop the [C]music
playing on.
[G][F][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[F]
[C]I've been half a million pla[Bb]ces,
[F]I've seen hal[C]f a million peo[Bb]ple who stare,
[F][C]
I've been a star and [Bb]down and out[F],
I've been [C]put on, sat on,
punched [Bb]and [C]spat on,

[Verse 8]
They've [C]called me a faggot,
[Bb]a spiv and a fak[F]e,
They can [C]knock me down
and [Bb]tread on my [F]face,
[Bb]They can't stop the [F]music playing [C]on.[Bb][F][C][Bb][F][C][Bb][F]

Let's all raise [F]a glass
[C]To [G]the

[Verse 9]
rock stars of the pas[F]t,[C]
[G]Those that made it,
[F]Those that [C]faded,[G]
Those that never even [F]made the [C]grade,

[Verse 10]
[F]Those that we tho[C]ught
would never [G]last.[F][G]
[F]
[C]Sin[G]gers come and go,[F][C]
And [G]stars fade [F]away.[C]
They [G]vanish in the [F]haze
[C]And they're never

[Verse 11]
[G]seen aga[F]in,
[C]But they can[F]'t stop the[C] music pla[G]ying[F][C][G][F][C]

[F]on.[C][Bb][F][C]
