Chords for Billy Joel - And So It Goes

_ _ _ _ _ Billy's been on the road exactly one year tonight performing, and he's going back on the road right after this show.
So it wouldn't really be fair to ask him to sing a song, but who said life was fair?
_ From that great album Stormfront, my favorite song of his, and so it goes from the new Grammy legend, Billy Joel. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ In every _ _ heart [G] there [D] is a [Am] room
[G] _
_ A sanctuary [F] _ [G] safe and strong
_ [C] To heal the _ wounds from [A] lovers [Am] _ past
[C] _
Until [Am] a new [G] one comes [C] _
along
_ I spoke to you _ in cautious [A] tones
[Am] _
_ [C] You answered [F] me with no [G] _ _ pretense
[C] And still [F] I _ feel I [A] said too [Am] much
_ [C] My [F] silence [G] is my self [C]-defense
_ _ [Em] And [Gm] every _ [Am] time I've held a [D] _ rose
[C] It seems I [D] only felt the [G]
thorns
_ [C] And so it _ [Am] goes, and so [Ab] it goes
_ [C] And so [A] will you [D] soon, I [G] suppose _
_ _ [C] But if my silence _
_ _ [G] made you [Am] leave _
Then that would be [F] my [G] worst mistake
_ [C] So I will share _ this room with you _
And you [F] can [G] have this [C] heart _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [E] This is why [Am]
my eyes [Fm] are closed
[C] It's just [Am] as [D] well for all I've [G] seen
_ _ [C]
And so [Cm] it _ [Am] goes, and so [Fm] it goes
[C] And [Am] you're the [D] only one [A] who _ [G] knows
So [C] _
I [F] would choose to [G] be with [Am] you
_ _ [C] That's if the choice [F] were [G] mine to make
_ [C] But you [F] can make [A] decisions _ [Am] too
_ _ [G] [C] And you [F] can have this [C] heart to break _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] And [Gm] so it [Cm] _ [Am] goes, and so it [Fm]
goes
_ [C] And you're [F] the _ [G]
only one
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
