The Crawler

Am                     Dm        
Andrea and me, we went swimming 
      Am
last Monday
Dm            Am               E
Swimming last Monday in a 
    Am
community pool
Am                      Dm       
I refused to remove my suit in 
   Am
the shower
            Dm             Am   
Scared that someone might see the 
   E           Am
scars on my soul
           Dm            Am
That this autumn left on me


Am                              
A community swimming pool, it's 
Dm        Am
like a society
       Dm              Am         
Twenty people swimming in a line, 
        E            Am
making room for everyone
         Dm           Am
We work hard to get along


[Bridge]
         Dm                     Am
And then he comes along, the crawler
                Dm             
He doesn't see anyone else, the 
   Am
crawler
                    Dm             
He jumps in in the middle lane and 
            C       E
waves his crawling arms

[Chorus]
           Am        Dm     
Visibly damaging the swimming 
       C                E
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            
They should start crawling 
       E
themselves"
               Am
So says the crawler


[Verse]
Am                      Dm       
Andrea and me, we swam after each
   Am
 other
Dm          Am             E     
After each other in the community
  Am
 pool
Am                          
I'm not good at talking while 
   Dm   Am
exercising
       Dm              Am      E 
If you say something funny, 
         Am
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       
We're in a line, twenty people, we
  Dm          E
 try to get along
               E    Am
I love how we get along


[Bridge]
Dm                            
But the crawler keeps crawling, 
   Am
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
E
And we wait
    Am            E            Am
We wait for the waves to slow down
