INTRO: A D A D A D A D

[Bm]             [D]                           [F#m]
Carve your name, carve your name in ice and    wind.
Dare to leap,    leap from ledges high and     wide.
Shun a friend,   shun a brother and a          friend
Bite the hand,   bite the hand that bakes your bread.

[Bm]              [D]                        [A]
Search for where, search for where the river end or 
Learn to speak,   speak with wisdom like a   child
Never look,       never look around the      bend or
Dare to leap ,    where the angels fear to   tread

[E]               [D]        [E]
where the rivers  start.  Do everything that's in you
directly to the   heart.     Crown yourself the king of clowns, or
check the weather chart.     Sign the Mona Lisa with a
'til you are torn apart.     Stoke the fires of Paradise with

[F#m]
feel to be your part, but
stand way back apart, but  
apray can, call it art, but
coals from Hell to start, but        

CHORUS: (play through 3 times, then go to BRIDGE before 4th verse, then go
         to FINALE after playing 4th verse and through 4th chorus.)

[Bm]            [Bm7/A]        [Gmaj7]        [D]                   [A]
never give your love my friend unto a foolish heart, unto a foolish heart

BRIDGE:

[A#] [Bsus4]            [B]            [Bsus4]            [B]
   A foolish heart will call on you to toss your dreams a-way
      [Bsus4/A]      [B/A]             [Bsus4/A]     [B/A]
then turn around and blame you for the way you wnt a-stray.  A
[G#m]                                 [C#m7-5]   
foolish heart will cost you sleep and often make you curse.  A
[F#7sus4]        [F#7]          [F#7sus4]        [F#7-9] [E] [D/E] [E]
selfish heart is trouble, but a foolish heart is worse [to 4th verse]

FINALE:

[D] [A]            [D]    
    Unto a foolish heart.
