The Dance by Garth Brooks
Key of C

“To a lot of people, I guess The Dance is a love gone bad song,” says Brooks, “Which, you know, that it is, but to me it’s always been a song about life; or maybe the loss of those people that have given the ultimate sacrifice for a dream that they believed in, like the John F. Kennedy’s or the Martin Luther King’s. John Wayne’s or the Keith Whitley’s. And if they could come back, I think they would say to us what the lyrics of The Dance really means.

[ C G F C ] – shown with [ D A G D ]

Looking [D] back on the [G] memory of . . . The [A] dance we shared beneath the [D] stars above.Β  [A]Β  For a [D] moment all the [G] world was right.Β  How could [A] I have known you’d [Bm] ever say [A] goodbye.

And [G]Β Β  { CHORUS } – – – – – I – I’m glad I didn’t [A] know;Β  The way it all would [F#m] end the way it all would [G] go. [A]Β Β  Our [G] lives are better left to [A] chance I could have missed the [F#m] pain, but I’d have to [G] miss [A] the [D] dance.

Holding [D] you I held [G] everything.Β  For a [A] moment wasn’t [D] I the king. [A]Β Β  If I’d [D] only known how the [G] king would fall.Β  [A] Who’s to say you know I [Bm] might have changed it [A] all

So [G] Β Β  { CHORUS } – – – – –

Yes myΒ [G] life is better left to [A] chance.Β  I could have missed the [F#m] pain, but I’d have to [G] miss [A] the [D] dance. [ D ]
