In my heart is a ghost
       Am            G             Gbdim      G
and he drinks and he smokes and he keeps me awake
Gbdim           Em        D     Am(1)     G
all through the night, my heart shakes
   Am     G
so i live alone
      Am          G            Gbdim     G
drink beer by the phone and it keeps me alive
  Gbdim         Em          D          Cmaj7
i know there is hope, and i can't look for it

          Gbdim         Em               D            Cmaj7

   Am         G
oh out in the woods
Am         G             Gbdim       G
out in the field, it's a hard rains fall
Gbdim       Em           D         A(1)  G
rust on the wheels of my ten speed
      Am          G
and i ride in the lane
       Am        G           Gbdim       G
in the lane is a wind and it keeps me sane
      Gbdim     Em        D           Cmaj7
in my head is a god but i can't speak for it


**Chorus:
          Gbdim         Em               D            Cmaj7
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
          Gbdim         Em               D            Cmaj7
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
          Gbdim         Em               D            C

that's the trouble with everything
                  C    Bsus4   Am      G     D/B    D

                       C    Bsus4   Am      G     D/B    D
