In ev-‘ry heart there is a room,
-1 2 -1 2 3 3 2 -1
A sanc-tu-ar-y safe and strong.
1 2 3 -3 3 -3 3 2
To heal the wounds from lov-ers past,
-1 2 3 3 2 1 1 1
un-til a new one comes a-long.
1 2 3 -3 3 -3 3 2
I spoke to you in cau-tious tones;
-1 2 -1 2 3 3 2 -1
You an-swered me with no pre-tense.
1 2 3 -3 3 -3 3 2
And still I feel I said too much.
-1 2 3 3 2 1 1 1
My si-lence is my self de-fense.
1 2 3 4 -3 3 -2 3
And ev-‘ry time I’ve held a rose
-2 2 -3 -3 2 -1 1 -1
It seems I on-ly felt the thorns.
1 2 3 4 -3 3 -2 3
And so it goes, and so it goes.
-2 2 -3 -4 4 -4 -3 3
and so will you soon I sup-pose.
1 2 3 -3 3 -3 3 2
But if my si-lence made you leave,
-1 2 -1 2 3 3 2 -1
then that would be my worst mis-take.
1 2 3 -3 3 -3 3 2
So I will share this room with you.
-1 2 3 3 2 -1 1 1 1
And you can have this heart to break.

-1 2 3 4 -3 3 -2 3
And this is why my eyes are closed,
-2 2 -3 -3 2 -1 1 -1
It’s just as well for all I’ve seen.
1 2 3 4 -3 3 -2 3
And so it goes, and so it goes
-2 2 -3 -4 4 -4 -3 3
and you’re the on-ly one who knows.
1 2 3 -3 3 -3 3 2
So I would choose to be with you.
-1 2 -1 2 -3 3 2 -1
That’s if the choice were mine to make.
1 2 3 -3 3 -3 3 2
But you can make de-ci-sions, too.
-1 2 3 3 2 -1 1 1 1
And you can have this heart to break.
67-7 7-776 -56-56776
1 2 3 4 -3 3 -2 3
And so it goes, and so it goes,
-2 2 3 3 2-1 1 1 1
and you’re the on-ly one who knows.
