      [Verse 1]
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
C                  F               G  F
Gods in the treetop making mockingbirds
C           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
C                  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
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
