 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
 there are leaves  in the trees,  there are trees  in the forest
 there are leaves  in the trees,  there are trees  in the forest
 Same as intro
 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
 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

 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
