INTRO:

VERSE 1

Looking G back, on the C memory of,   The D dance we shared,   'neath the G stars above D

For a G moment, all the C world was right,   How could D I have known,   that you'd Em ever say good-D-bye

CHORUS:

And C now, I'm glad I didn't D know,   The way it all would Bm end,   The way it all would C go D

Our C lives, are better left to D chance,   I could have missed the Bm pain,   But I'd a had to C miss D the G dance

VERSE 2

Holding G you, I held C everything,   For a D moment,   wasn't G I a king D

If I'd G only known, how the C king would fall,   Then D who's to say,   you know I Em might have changed it D all

CHORUS:

And C now, I'm glad I didn't D know,   The way it all would Bm end,   The way it all would C go D

Our C lives, are better left to D chance,   I could have missed the Bm pain,   But I'd a had to C miss D the G dance

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