Verse 1:
7 -7 -8 -8 -5 -6 -6 6 6
Look-in’ __ Back on the mem-’ry of
7 7 <-6 <-6 -3 -3 4 4 -4 -4
the dance we shared with all the stars above.
7 -7 8 -8 -5 -6 -6 6 6
For a moment, all the world was right
5 7 7 <-6 <-6
How could I have known
-5 -7 -7 7 6 8 -8 -7
that you’d ev-er say good bye?
Chorus:
-8 8 7 10 -9 8 -8 -7
And now, I’m glad I didn’t know
-5 -7 -7 -8 8 -8
the way it all would end,
-5 -8 -7 7 <-6 6 <-6
The way it all would go.
-8 8 7 10 -9 8 -8 -7
Our lives are better left to chance.
-5 -7 -7 -8 8 -8
I could have missed the pain,
-5 -8 -7 7 <-6 6 <-6 7
but I’d have had to miss the dance
Verse 2:
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
Chorus:
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 I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
