Here's the song that, in my opinion, launched a superstar

Keyboard intro (I like how it sounds on guitar)

           G  C/G G C/G   C
1: Looking back   on the memory of
2: Holding you    I held everything

          D                          G           D
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

             D                         Em                   D
1: How could I have known  that you'd ever say          goodbye
2: Then,  who's to say     you know I might have changed it all

CHORUS
     C                     D
And now  I'm glad I didn't know
                     Bm7
The way it all would end
                     C   D
The way it all would go
%     C                        D
%Our lives are better left to chance
                        Bm7
I could have missed the pain
                    C    D   G(1st repeat intro lick  2nd repeat from %)
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Keyboards continue through arpeggios here, 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
