[Intro]
Am/D C Em G
 
[Verse 1]
D                                C
Chase away my heart and heartache
Em           G
Run me over, throw me over, 

cast me out
D                    
Find a river running 
       C
to the west wind
Em
Just above the shoulderline
         G
You will see a cloud
 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G                      D
Tie me to a tiny wooden raft
Am                          
Burn my body, point me to the 
C
undertow
G                           D
Push me off into the void at last
Am
Watch me drift and
                  C       G  Am  C
Watch me struggle, let me go
                     G
Cause I really wanna know
 
 
 
[Chorus]
                  D
Will anybody ever love me?
Am
For good reasons
                   C            G
Without grievance, not for sport
                  D
Will anybody ever love me?
   Am
In every season
                  C     Em Am
Pledge allegiance to my heart
                         
Pledge allegiance to my

burning heart
 
Am Em D

Hello wildness please

forgive me now 
Em                        
For the heartache and the 
       D
misery I create
D                              C
Take my suffering as I take my vow
G
Wash me now, anoint me
          D
With that golden blade
 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G                         D
Tie me to the final wooden stake
Am               
Burn my body, 
              C
celebrate the afterglow
G                          D
Wash away the summer sins I made
Am
Watch me drift and
                   C     G Am
Watch me struggle, let me go
                     G
Cause I really wanna know

                  D
Will anybody ever love me?
Am
For good reasons
                   C            G
Without grievance, not for sport

Will anybody ever love me?

In every season

Pledge allegiance to my heart
