In everyF7+ heart there is aAm2 room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal F7+the wounds from lAm2overs past
Until a new one F7+comes along
I spoke F7+to you in cautiouAm2s tones
You answered me with no pretense
And stilF7+l I feel I said tAm2oo much
My silence is myF7+ self defense
And every F7+time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it F7+goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if mF7+y silence made yoAm2u leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I wilF7+l share this roomAm2 with you
And you can haveF7+ this heart to break
And this iF7+s why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it F7+goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I wouF7+ld choose to be wAm2ith you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you F7+can make decisionAm2s too
And you can haveF7+ this heart to break
