Intro: A, A7, D (2x) verse 1 A A7 D It's harder than it looks to move through water A A7 D First you've got to paddle like a pup A A7 D You see yourself; you're sure you're lamb to slaughter A A7 D So you take what was pure and muck it up Bm A D But I'll throw my hands up and drag myself through E A And I'll kick my feet, cause I've learned to crawl A7 It's really impressive D When I was just drowning A I'll crawl A7 D Might as well be butterfly verse 2 I could hold my breath and just stay under But now there's rings of fire on the lake Looking back from here, I have to wonder Just how much did I think that I could take? So I'll throw my hands up and drag myself through And I'll kick my feet, cause I've learned to crawl It's really impressive When I was just drowning I'll crawl Might as well be butterfly I'll crawl It's really impressive When I was just drowning I'll crawl Might as well be butterfly Bridge Bm D Hand over hand over hand Bm D E Hand over hand 'til I believe that I can stand I'll crawl I'll crawl It's really impressive When I was just drowning I'll crawl Might as well be butterfly I'll crawl It's really impressive When I was just drowning I'll crawl Might as well be butterfly I'll crawl
