    Even if the combinations of notes is exhausted, we should consider that the melody is also a factor in songwriting. Since a melody can make the same chord sequence sound completely different, and a melody cannot be "pinned down" by a note (every single musician may sing a different melody to the same chord sequence) the combinations are infinite. When considering the note combinations and the melody factor, we can see that this argument runs true.
