Looking back on the memory of
E A E
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
Asu4 A D
For a moment all the world was right
Asus4 E B E
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
D F#m E
And now I'm glad I didn't know
C#m G#m A D E
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
D E
Our lives are better left to chance
Aadd9 C#m
I could have missed the pain
A D E A
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Hey who's to say? You know I might have changed 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
