[Verse]
                      C                D 
Lookin back on the mem'ry of the    dance we shared 
              G            D 
'neath the stars above 
          G                  C                         D 
For a  moment all the     world was right how could I have known 
              Em                     D 
that you'd  ever say good         bye
[Chorus]
    C                      D                         Bm 
And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end 
                     C    D 
the way it all would go 
    C                         D                               Bm 
Our lives, are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain 
                    C    D   G 
but I'd have had to miss the dance

[Verse]
                      C                D 
Holding you I held everything for a moment 
              G            D 
wasn't     I the king? 
          G                  C                         D 
If I'd only known how the king would fall. Hey      who's to say 
               Em                     D 
You know, I might have changed it all
[Chorus]
    C                      D                         Bm 
And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end 
                     C    D 
the way it all would go 
    C                         D                               Bm 
Our lives, are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain 
                    C    D   G 
but I'd have had to miss the dance
[Outro]
        C                         D 
Yes my life, it's better left to chance 
                             Bm 
I could have have missed the pain, 
                    C    D   G 
but I'd have had to miss the dance
