[intro] (play melody in right hand)
C F Asus Am C F G
C F Asus Am C F F/G C
C F Asus Am
In every heart there is a room
C F G
A sanctuary safe and strong
C F Asus Am
To heal the wounds from lovers past
C F F/G C
Until a new one comes along
C F Asus Am
I spoke to you in cautious tones
C F G
You answered me with no pretense
C F Asus Am
And still I feel I said too much
C F F/G C
My silence is my self defense
C/Bb F/A Fm6/Ab
And ev'ry time I've held a rose
C/G Am D/F# Gsus G
It seems I only felt the thorns
C C/Bb F/A Fm6/Ab
And so it goes, and so it goes
C/E Am D/F# Gsus G
And so will you soon, I suppose
C F C/E F Asus Am
But if my silence made you leave
C F G
Then that would be my worst mistake
C F Asus Am
So I will share this room with you
C F F/G C
And you can have this heart to break
[Piano] (play melody in right hand)
C F Asus Am
C F F/G
C C/Bb F/A Fm6/Ab
And this is why, my eyes are closed
C/G Am D/F# Gsus G
It's just as well, for all i've seen
C C/Bb F/A Fm6/Ab
And so it goes, and so it goes
C/G Am D/F# Gsus G
And you're the only one who knows
C F Asus Am
So I would choose to be with you
C F G
That's if the choice were mine to make
C F Asus Am
But you can make decisions too
C F F/G C
And you can have this hear to break
[Piano] (play melody in right hand)
C F Asus Am
C F G
C C/Bb F/A Fm6/Ab
And so it goes, and so it goes
C/G F F/G C
And you're the only one who knows
