      Am         G
In my heart is a ghost

       Am            G            C/F#      G
and he drinks and he smokes and he keeps me awake

     C/F#       Em        D       C
all through the night, my heart shakes

   Am     G
so i live alone

     Am          G         C/F#         G
drink beer by the phone and it keeps me alive

  C/F#          Em          D          C
i know there is hope, and i can't look for it

          Am            G                Em           C
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

          Am            G                Em           C
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest



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

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



that's the trouble with everything


everything always dies and


that's the thing about everything


everything always dies

there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
