And So It Goes

**Chords:**
    C   G    Am   E7   F   C   G   C

C                   G
In every heart there is a room
                  Am                E7
A sanctuary safe and strong
              F                     C
To heal the wounds from lovers past
                G                   C
Until a new one comes along

C                   G
I spoke to you in cautious tones
                  Am                E7
You answered me with no pretense
                  F                     C
And still I feel I said too much
                 G                   C
My silence is my self-defense

    F                G
And every time I’ve held a rose
      F                  G
It seems I only felt the thorns
C                    G
And so it goes, and so it goes
    Am              E7
And so will you, so I suppose
      F         C                G
But if my silence made you leave
      F         C            G
Then that would be my worst mistake
      F         C         G
I can’t help but wonder how
    F            G           C
I could have made you stay
