[Verse 1]
        G    C G         C         Cadd9
Lookin' back      on the mem'ry of
    D              Dsus2 D           G            D
The dance we shared       'neath the stars above
      G      C G          C               Cadd9
For a moment      all the world was right
          D            Dsus2 D
How could I have known
           Em           D/F#
That you'd ever say goodbye


[Chorus]
    C                      D
And now, I'm glad I didn't know
           D/C       Bm
The way it all would end
                     C     D
The way it all would go...
    C                        D
Our lives are better left to chance
             D/C        Bm
I could have missed the pain
                  C    D/F# G
But I'd uh had to miss the  dance

[Verse 2]
        G   C G         C          Cadd9
Holding you      I held everything
      D      Dsus2 D       G          D
For a moment        wasn't I the king
       G          C G         C               Cadd9
If I'd only known     how the king would fall
     D            Dsus2 D
Hey, who's to say
            Em                    D/F#
You know, I might have changed it all


[Chorus]
    C                      D
And now, I'm glad I didn't know
           D/C       Bm
The way it all would end
                     C     D
The way it all would go...
    C                        D
Our lives are better left to chance
             D/C        Bm
I could have missed the pain
                  C    D/F# G     C G
But I'd uh had to miss the  dance


[Outro]
        C                         D
Yes, my life, it's better left to chance
             D/C        Bm
I could have missed the pain
                  C    D/F#   G
But I'd uh had to miss the... dance
