The Minnow & The Trout

(intro)  D A

D
Help me out,
              A
Said the minnow to the trout
         D
I was lost and found
        A
Myself swimming in your mouth
    D
Oh, help me chief,
         A
I've got plans for you and me
   Em
I swear upon this riverbed,
      A
I'll help you feel young again
G            D
Oh, not your everyday circumstance
  G
The hummingbird
       A
Taking coffee with the ants,
And I said
D                         G
Please, I know that we're different
            D                         G
But we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    D    A     G           D   A   G
And what we're made of was all the same once
      D   A    G               D
We're not that different after all

D                    A
Help me up, said the eagle to the duck
     D              A
I've fallen from    my nest so high above
    D                  A
Oh, help me fly, I am too afraid to try
Em
Now saddled with a fear of heights
A
I'm praying you can set me right

G            D
Oh, not your everyday circumstance
   G
The elephant
        A
Sharing peanuts with the rats,
And I said

D                         G
Please, I know that we're different
            D                         G
But we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    D    A     G           D   A   G
And what we're made of was all the same once
      D   A    G               D
We're not that different after all

D             Gm     A
We are tied in history,
D                    Gm    A
Wide-connected like a family
D              Gm     A
We are tied in history,

Wide-connected like a family, a family

   D                         G
So Please, I know that we're different
            D                         G
But we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    D    A     G           D   A   G
And what we're made of was all the same once
      D   A    G
We're not that different

We're not that different after all
