And so it goes(Keyboard chords)

	        
Verse:    
C        F             Am C  
In ev'ry heart there is a room 
  
C                       G  
A sanctuary safe and strong 
  
C                      Am C  
To heal the wounds of lovers past  
  
C                     F    C  
Until a new one comes along 
  

Verse 2: 
I spoke to you in cautious tones 
You answered me with no pretense 
And still I feel I said too much 
My silence is my self defense 
  
Bridge:  
  
    C     Am       C     G  
And ev'ry time I've held a rose 
  
   F       Am       Dm     G G7  
It seems I only felt the thorns 
  
    C     Am       C     G  
And so it goes, and so it goes 
  
    F       Am         Dm     G G7  
And so will you soon, I suppose 
  
Verse 3: 
But if my silence made you leave 
Then that would be my worst mistake 
So I will share this room with you 
And you can have this heart to break 

Instrumental: 
  
    C     Am      C    G  

  
    C          G       F    C  

Bridge 2: 
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 

Verse 4: 
So I would choose to be with you 
That's if the choice were mine to make 
But you can make decisions too 
And you can have this heart to break 


Instrumental: 
  
    C     Am      C    G  

  
    C          G       F    C  

Ending:  
  
    C     Am      C    G  
And so it goes, and so it goes  
  
    C          G       F    C  
And you're the only who knows
