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
