Verse 1
 
         G           C             D 
 Looking back on the memory of the dance we shared 
              G          D       G              C 
 with all the stars above, for a moment all the world was right. 
           D                       Em           D/F# 
 How could I have known that you'd ever say good-bye?

 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.
