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

1: How could I have known  that you'd ever say          goodbye

CHORUS

And now  I'm glad I didn't know
                     Bm7

But I'd have had to miss the dance

Keyboards continue through arpeggios, 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

         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?

     C                      D              D/C        Bm
 And now, i'm glad i didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all 

       C  D    C                        D
 would go. Our lives are better left to chance. 

              D/C        Bm                                G  C/E  G  C/E  G
 I could have missed the pain,but i'd have had to miss the dance.


 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. 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 have had to miss
 the dance.

        C                         D                    D/C        Bm
 Yes my life, it's better left to chance. I could have missed the pain,

                     C    D7    G
 but i'd have had to miss the dance.

 Em       C       Dsus       G
