Tree Hugger Chords & Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

[A]The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
[D]The tree said, "I wish I c[E]ould be
[E]A different kind of tree,
[A]The cat wished that it was a bee,
[A]The turtle wished that it could fly
[D]Really high into the sky,
[E]Over rooftops and then dive
[A]Deep into the sea.

[A]And in the sea there is a fish,
[D]A fish that has a secret wish,
[E]A wish to be a big cactus
[A]With a pink flower on it.
[A]And in the sea there is a fish,
[D]A fish that has a secret wish,
[D]A wish to be a big cactus[E]
[A]With a pink flower on it.

[A]And the flower
[A]Would be i[D]ts offering
O[E]f love to the de[A]sert.
[A]And the desert,
[A]So dry and[D] lonely,
Th[E]at the creatures all
[E]Appreciate the [A]effort.

[A]And the rattlesnake said,
[A]"I wish I h[D]ad hands so
I co[D]uld hug you like a m[E]an."
[E]And then the cactus said,
[A]"Don't you understand,
[A]My skin is covered with sharp spikes
[D]That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
[E]A hug would be nice,
[A]But hug my flower with your eyes."

[A]The flower said, "I wish I wa[D]s a tree,"
[D]The tree said, "I wish I c[E]ould be
[E]A different kind of tree,
[A]The cat wished that it was a bee,
[A]The turtle wished that it could fly
[D]Really high into the sky,
[E]Over rooftops and then dive
[A]Deep into the sea.

[A]And in the sea there is a fish,
[D]A fish that has a secret wish[E] ,
[E]A wish to be a big cactus
[A]With a pink flower on it.
[A]And in the sea there is a fish,
[D]A fish that has a secret wish,
[D]A wish to be a big cactus[E]
[A]With a pink flower on it.

[A]And the flower
[A]Would be i[D]ts offering
O[E]f love to the de[A]sert.
[A]And the desert,
[A]So dry and[D] lonely,
Th[E]at the creatures all
[E]Appreciate the [A]effort.
