And So It Goes (Billy Joel)

  4  5  6    -6    6   -6 6   5
In ev-'ry heart there is a room,

-4   5  -4  5 6   6   5    -4
 A sanc-tu-ar-y safe and strong.

 4   5   6    -6     6  -6   6    5
To heal the wounds from lov-ers past,

-4  5  6  6   5    4   4   4
un-til a new one comes a-long.

4   5    6 -6   6  -6   6     5
I spoke to you in cau-tious tones;

-4   5   -4    5   6   6  5   -4
You an-swered me with no pre-tense.

 4    5   6  -6  6  -6   6    5
And still I feel I said too much.

-4  5   6    6  5   4   4   4
My si-lence is my self de-fense.

 4   5  6    7   -6    6 -5   6
And ev-'ry time I've held a rose

-5   5  -6 -6 5   -4   4     4
It seems I on-ly felt the thorns.

 4   5  6   7   -6   6 -5   6
And so it goes, and so it goes.

-5   5  -6  -7    7 -7 -6   6
and so will you soon I sup-pose.

 4   5  6 -6   6    -6   6    5
But if my si-lence made you leave,

 -4    5    -4   5  6   6    5   -4
then that would be my worst mis-take.

 4 5  6     -6    6   -6    6   5
So I will share this room with you.

-4   5   6    6  5 -4   4    4   4
And you can have this heart to break.

 4    5   6  7  -6  6   -5     6
And this is why my eyes are closed,

-5     5  -6  -6   5  -4   4    -4
It's just as well for all I've seen.

 4   5  6   7   -6   6 -5   6
And so it goes, and so it goes

-5    5    -6  -7 7  -7  -6    6
and you're the on-ly one who knows.

 4 5   6     -6    6 -6  6    5
So I would choose to be with you.

 -4     5 -4    5     -6    6   5  -4
That's if the choice were mine to make.

 4   5   6   -6   6 -6   6     5
But you can make de-ci-sions, too.

-4   5   6    6  5 -4   4    4   4
And you can have this heart to break.

 4   5  6   7   -6   6 -5  6
And so it goes, and so it goes,

-5    5     6   6 5  -4 4   4    4
and you're the on-ly  o-ne who knows.
