[Verse 1]
 
Bm               D                          F#m
Carve your name, carve your name in ice and wind
Bm                D                           A
Search for where, search for where the rivers end,
   E                D
Or where the rivers start.
   E                             F#m
Do everything that's in you, you feel to be your part,
Bm              Bm7/A          Gmaj7
Never give your love my friend,
               D                     A      D    A    D
Unto a foolish heart, unto a foolish heart.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Bm            D                         F#m
Dare to leap, leap from ledges high and wild,
Bm              D                          A
Learn to speak, speak with the wisdom of a child,
   E            D
Directly to the heart.
E                                   F#m
Call yourself the king of clowns or stand way back apart,
Bm                  Bm7/A          Gmaj7
But never give your love my friend,
               D                     A      D    A    D
Unto a foolish heart, unto a foolish heart.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Bm             D                    F#m
Shun a friend, shun a brother and a friend
Bm          D                     A
Never look, never look around the bend,
   E                 D
Or check the weather chart.
E                         F#m
Sign the Mona Lisa with a spray can, call it art,
Bm                  Bm7/A          Gmaj7
But never give your love, my friend,
               D                     A      D    A#
Unto a foolish heart, unto a foolish heart.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  Bsus4              B              Bsus4             B
A foolish heart will call on you to toss your dreams away,
     Bsus4/A         B/A               Bsus4/A       B/A
Then turn around and blame you for the way you went astray.
  G#m                C#m7
A foolish heart will cost you sleep and only make you curse,
   F#7sus4         F#7            F#7sus4          F#7-9
A selfish heart is trouble, but a foolish heart is worse.

[Verse 4]
 
Bm             D                             F#m
Bite the hand, bite the hand that bakes your bread
Bm           D                        A
Dare to lead where the angels fear to tread,
    E            D
Til you are torn apart.
E                                F#m
Stoke the fires of paradise with coals from hell to start,
Bm                  Bm7/A          Gmaj7
But never give your love my friend,
               D                     A      D     A
Unto a foolish heart, unto a foolish heart,
 
 
[Outro]
 
               D      A
Unto a foolish heart,
               D      A
Unto a foolish heart,
               D      A
Unto a foolish heart,
               D      A
Unto a foolish heart...
