INTRO:

A D E A D E

When you got that spider bite on your hand

To lose your arm would surely upset your brain

A D E A D E

The poison then could reach your heart from a vein

I was glad that it didn’t destroy you

D E

How sad that would be

D E

Cause if it destroyed you

A D E

It would destroy me

A D E A D E

When you had that acci-dent in your car

A D E A D E

That whole thing just really seemed too bizarre

A D E A D E

Dodging holes and telephone poles through the dash

A D E A D E

A million to one that you would survive such a crash

D E

I was glad that it didn’t destroy you

D E

How sad that would be

D E

Cause if it destroyed you

A D E

It would destroy me

A D E A D E

When you fell in love, it was so sweet

A D E A D E

So devoted, completely swept off your feet

A D E A D E

Love is the greatest thing a heart can know

A D D C#m F#m

But the hole that it leaves in its absence can make you feel....so....low

D E

And I was glad that it didn’t destroy you

D E

How sad that would be

D E

Cause if it destroyed you

A D E

It would destroy me
