The Dance

Renato Russo


Tom: G

        G           C
Looking back on the memory of
     D                          G           D7
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
       G                C
For  a moment  all the world was right
          D             D7
How could I have  known
             Em          D
that you'd  ever say goodbye?
    C                      D
And now I'm glad  I didn't know
                      Bm
The way it all would end
                     C  D
The way it all would go
    C                         D
Our lives are better left to chance
                         Bm
I could have missed the pain
                    C    D    G
But I'd have had to miss the dance

        G          C
Holding you I held everything
      D             G        D7
For a moment wasn't I a king?
   G                       C
If I'd only  known how the king would fall
     D             D7
Then who's to say ?
           Em                    D
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'd have had to miss the dance
