And So It Goes - Billy Joel Am2 In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong Am2 To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along Am2 I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense Am2 And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose Am2 But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake Am2 So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows Am2 So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make Am2 But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break
