[Verse]
AmAndrea and me, we went Dmswimming last MoAmnday
DmSwimming last AmMonday in a commuEnity Ampool
AmI refused to remove my sDmuit in the sAmhower
Scared that Dmsomeone might sAmee the sEcars on my sAmoul
That this aDmutumn left on Amme
AmA community swimming pool, it's Dmlike a socAmiety
Twenty Dmpeople swimming Amin a line, making rEoom for everyAmone
We work hDmard to get alAmong
[Bridge]
And then Dmhe comes along, the craAmwler
He doesn't see aDmnyone else, the crAmawler
He jumps in in the mDmiddle lane and waves his crCawling aErms
[Chorus]
Visibly damAmaging the Dmswimming qualiCty for everyone eElse
The craAmwler believes because Dmhe knows crawling
He gets to cCrawl over everyone Eelse
Am"People who breaststroke and caDmn't keep up
They should sCtart crawling themseElves"
So says the craAmwler
[Verse]
AmAndrea and me, we swam aDmfter each otAmher
DmAfter each oAmther in the comEmunity pAmool
AmI'm not good at talking while eDmxerciAmsing
If you Dmsay something fuAmnny, AndErea, I'll dAmrown
My aDmrms in the water get nAmumber and number
For evDmery second here AmI grow stronger
We're in Dma line, twenty pAmeople, we tDmry to get alEong
I love how we gEet alAmong
[Bridge]
DmBut the crawler keeps crawling, fAmorcing the water
Building fDmorts of waves that Amhit our faces
Us tweDmnty, we gather arAmound the crawler
We pDmush his face under wEater
EAnd we wait
We wAmait for the waEves to slow dAmown x6

[Verse]

Am Dm Am

Andrea and me, we went swimming last Monday

Dm Am E Am

Swimming last Monday in a community pool

Am Dm Am

I refused to remove my suit in the shower

Dm Am E Am

Scared that someone might see the scars on my soul

Dm Am

That this autumn left on me

Am Dm Am

A community swimming pool, it's like a society

Dm Am E Am

Twenty people swimming in a line, making room for everyone

Dm Am

We work hard to get along

[Bridge]

Dm Am

And then he comes along, the crawler

Dm Am

He doesn't see anyone else, the crawler

Dm C E

He jumps in in the middle lane and waves his crawling arms

[Chorus]

Am Dm C E

Visibly damaging the swimming quality for everyone else

Am Dm

The crawler believes because he knows crawling

C E

He gets to crawl over everyone else

Am Dm

"People who breaststroke and can't keep up

C E

They should start crawling themselves"

So says the crawler

[Verse]

Am Dm Am

Andrea and me, we swam after each other

Dm Am E Am

After each other in the community pool

Am Dm Am

I'm not good at talking while exercising

Dm Am E Am

If you say something funny, Andrea, I'll drown

Dm Am

My arms in the water get number and number

Dm Am

For every second here I grow stronger

Dm Am Dm E

We're in a line, twenty people, we try to get along

E Am

I love how we get along

[Bridge]

Dm Am

But the crawler keeps crawling, forcing the water

Dm Am

Building forts of waves that hit our faces

Dm Am

Us twenty, we gather around the crawler

Dm E

We push his face under water

And we wait

Am E Am

We wait for the waves to slow down x6
