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. 
67-7 7-776 -5677655
-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.
