I'm alone in a forest
Surrounded by trees
It's not a metaphor for nothin'
It's just where I happen to be
I wanted to write you a love song
But I can't stop talking about me
So I'm alone in a forest
And I'm singin' about trees

Happy birthday
How many is it this year?
I know it must be gettin' up there
But I'll believe what I hear
I didn't come to count rings, ain't keeping score
Whatever the years
Here's to that many
(Double time x 4 but slow down on the last 2 and let it ring on the upstroke)

I could plant a forest
God knows I could get the seeds
Again, it's not a metaphor
It's just real easy to buy seeds
But I thought it'd be better to get to know
The one that's five minutes from me
So I'm not gonna plant a forest
I'll just sing to these trees

I'm just a guy in the forest
And I'm singin' to the trees
On "Singin'" strum C chord and pull off index finger from 1st fret of B string
