The Dance

The Dance
By Tony Arata


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 have had to [C] miss [D] the [G] dance. [C]


(leading into Outro, play D chord)


VERSE 2
Holding [G] you I held [C] everything, and for a [D] moment wasn't [G] I the 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


OUTRO
It's my [C] life, and it's better left to [D] chance, I could have missed the [Bm] pain, but I'd have had to [C] miss [D] the [G] dance.
