Verse 1: 
G                   C 
Looking back on the memory of  
             
D                              G                
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above  
            
         G               C 
For a moment all the world was right  
                   
           D                      C/E          D/F# 
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye  
 
Chorus: 
         
    C                      D                         
And now I'm glad I didn't know  
                                 
                     Bm                       C         D 
The way it all would end the way it all would go  
         
    C                        D             
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the

pain  
                  C    D   G 
But I'd of had to miss the dance  
 
Verse 2: 
 
Holding you I held everything  
For a moment wasn't I the 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  
 
Bridge: 
        C                       D  
Yes my life is better left to chance 
                         Bm                     C  
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss
