Intro
Verse
In my heart is a ghost
and he drinks and he smokes and he keeps me awake
all through the night, my heart shakes
so i live alone
drink beer by the phone and it keeps me alive
i know there is hope, and i can't look for it
Chorus
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
Interlude
Same as intro
Verse
oh out in the woods
out in the field, it's a hard rains fall
rust on the wheels of my ten speed
and i ride in the lane
in the lane is a wind and it keeps me sane
in my head is a god but i can't speak for it
Chorus
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
Bridge
Starting with that last C strum each of these chords once
that's the trouble with everything
everything always dies and
that's the thing about everything
everything always dies
**hold last D for an extra bar
**Play Intro again**
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
