Lyrics:
         G (320003@1)           CLooking (x32010@1)back on the memory of  
      D (xx0232@1)                        C (x32010@1)       DThe (xx0232@1)dance we shared 'neath the stars above
       G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)          
For a moment all the world was right
          D (xx0232@1)                      C (x32010@1)          DHow (xx0232@1)could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

C (x32010@1)                    DAnd (xx0232@1)now I'm glad I didn't know
                      Bm7 (x20202@1)                    C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
The way it all would end the way it all would go
      C (x32010@1)                     D (xx0232@1)
Our lives are better left to chance
                         Bm7I (x20202@1)could have missed the pain
                   C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1)  GBut (320003@1)I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
