Intro: G C G C G D C G
  
       G             C
Lookin back on the mem'ry of 
       D                            G                D
the dance we shared 'neath the stars above
           G                         C
For a  moment all the world was right 
                   D                                             Em                   D
how could I have known    that you'd ever say good bye
 

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

Interlude: G C G C G D C G
 

Holding you I held everything 
for a moment, wasn't I the king?
If I'd only known how the king would fall. 
Hey who's to say You know, I might have changed it all

 
 Chorus 

 
     C                                            D                              
Yes my life, it's better left to chance. I could have missed the 
Bm                                       C        D    G
pain  But I'd have had to miss the dance
