C G Am C
Know this house that I called home
Fm C
Her gentle milk was happy just to flow
Am F G F
Know that her tomcats took their licks in turn
C G Am C
Some branches fall to open arms
Fm C
Some paradises are a prayer too far
Am F G F
Gods in the treetop making mockingbirds
G Am
If I could choose I would do things right
C Fm
Teach my dreams to look me in the eye
G Am
Sing my heart out into my hand
C Fm
Shine where light demands
[Chorus]
C G F C
When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
C G F C
When I take your flesh with my false tooth
C G F C
When I bend until I break in two
G F Fm
Call me a fool being green
C G F
In the leaves of the world
C G F Fm
The leaves of the world
[Verse 2]
C G Am C
The wind blows all the wild away
Fm C
This house was kind as every hiding place
Am F G F
Bones are the hardest offering to burn
C G Am C
That dog will bark though no one's there
Fm C
This man went mad breaking his easy chair
Am F G F
Sing me the softest heart I've ever heard
G Am
It's only right how this trail goes cold
C Fm
Moonlight gliding through our empty clothes
G Am
Know I'm warm when a cloud rolls by
C F Fm
Rolling right for sky
[Chorus]
C G F C
When I lose my feet in my father's shoes
C G F C
When I take your flesh with my false tooth
C G F C
When I bend until I break in two
G F Fm
Call me a fool being green
C G F
In the leaves of the world
C G F Fm C
The leaves of the world
