G C/G G C/G C
1: Looking back on the memory of
2: Holding you I held everything
D G D
1: The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
2: For a moment wasn't I a king
G C/G G C/G C
1: For a moment all the world was right
2: If I'd only known how the king would fall
D Em D
1: How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
2: Then, who's to say you know I might have changed it all
CHORUS
C D
And now I'm glad I didn't know
Bm7
The way it all would end
C D
The way it all would go
% C D
%Our lives are better left to chance
Bm7
I could have missed the pain
C D G(1st repeat intro lick 2nd repeat from %)
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Keyboards continue through arpeggios here, but I play the following guitar
chords
Em/C/Dsus D/Em7(add 4th)/ repeat and fade (slash separates measures)
NOTES:
I generally fingerpick the verses with a timtrtmi. It�s not exactly
what�s on the CD, but it's close. If anyone has something better,
I'd be happy to hear about it.
Bm7 is played x24232
Em7(add4) is played 002030
It helps to play the G with your middle, ring, and pinky fingers
Just slide 2 frets up the neck to get the D/G chord in the guitar intro
Listen to the song to get the rhythm
The �G C/G G C/G� in the verses are played like the guitar intro
Thanks to Dana C for her suggestion to play the
first phrase of the keyboard intro and outro up on the 7th fret.
