[Verse 1]
Am C F D
Hey cousin, I know you
Am C F D
Not long ago in the city zoo
C D
You haven’t changed
Am
You still ain’t standin’ up straight
C F D
And I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout what we’ve become
Am C F D
Or what we haven’t just look what we’ve done
F E
Still makin’ fire out of sticks and stones
D# E
Standing united all together alone
[Chorus]
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Back into the woods
G
Do the slide
D
Do the slide
F
Yeah you and me
E
Back into the sea
[Verse 2]
Am C F D
Hey sister how you been
Am C F D
Last time you saw me I was wearin’ a fin
C
Times haven’t changed
D
I’m still swimmin’
Am C F D
Got to the top to get myself some air
Am C F D
I realized that it was better down there
F E
It’s like a jungle but there ain’t no laws
D# E
No helping hands just grubby paws
[Chorus]
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Back into the woods
G
Do the slide
D
Do the slide
F
Yeah you and me
E
Back into the sea

[Bridge]
Am C F D
Am C F D
Am C F
My naked eye saw a fly
D Am
In a jar with a hole
C
In the lid to tell his
F D
Kid exactly where not to go
Am C F
I saw the puppet string
D
Screwed into the head
Am C
I heard the puppet lie
F D
I felt the banner shred
Am C F
I can smell the smoke
D
As well as a rat
Am C F
I can teach that dog
D
I can learn from a cat
Am C
Throw it in reverse
F D
So I can hit erase
Am C
I can taste the blood
[Chorus]
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Do the crawl
Am D
Do the crawl
