[A] [Am]
[C] [F] [G]
[C] In [F] every heart there [G] is a [Am] womb,
[C] The sanctuary [F] safe [G] and strong,
[C] To heal the [F] wounds [C] from [G] lovers [Am] past,
[G] [F] Until a new [G] one [C] comes along.
I spoke to you in [A] cautious tone,
[Am] You [C] answered me [F] with no [G] pretense,
[C] And still I feel [F] I said [A] too [Am] much,
[C] My silence [F] is my self [C]
-defense.
And [E] every [Am] time I've [Ab] held a rose,
[C] It seems [Am] I [D] only felt [G] the thorns,
And [C] so [Gm] it [Am] goes, and so [Ab] it goes,
[C] And so [Am] will you soon [D] I suppose,
[G] [C]
But if my silence made [Gm] you [A] [Am] leave,
[C] Then that would be my [C] worst [G] mistake,
So [C] I will [F] share this [A] room with you,
[Am]
[C] And you [F] can have [G] this heart to [C] break,
[F]
[A] [Am]
[C] [F]
[C] [B] And [Gm] this is why [Am] my eyes are [Fm] closed,
[C] It's just as well [D] for all I've [G]
seen.
[C] And so it goes, [Am] and so [Ab] it goes,
[C] And you're the only [D] one who [G] knows,
[C] So I [F] would choose to be [G]
with [Am] you,
[C] That's if the choice were [F] mine [G] to make,
[C] But you can make
[Gm] decisions [Am] too,
[C] And you [F] can have this heart [C] to break,
[F] [A]
[Am] [C]
[F] [G]
[C] So it [E] goes, and so it [Fm] goes,
[C] And you're the [F] only one.
