CoordinatorLayout

Hi there guys!! I have a problem, I´m trying to show a SnackBar on my layout, but the snack bar shows above the editText where the user inputs the message, how can I change this behaviour?

Here´s my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        tools:context=".MainActivity">
