And So It Goes Tab

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
