Can make it that much worse.

The million things or more

I should be dancing for.

All the joy life sends.

Family And friends.

All the twists and bends
|C               |G
Knowing that It ends.

Well that de-pends...

|Bb                   |Dm
On if they let you go,

That when you bow

You leave the crowd.
