Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I didn't mean  it when I said  I hope the  cable in the elevator
Snaps  when you  step on board
 And I was joking  when I said  I hope  you crack your head
 And get mangled  by the downstairs  revolving door
 And I was kidding  when I said  I hope the number  one-oh three  bus
Hits  and makes a pancake  out of you
 I'm sorry,  I'm sorry
 Isn't amazing  what a woman  in love will do?
 (same as the last verse)
 And I don't really want to see your taxi on the 59th street bridge
 Flip over and crash through the rail
 And I'd feel bad if at the airport you were mistaken for a local sex offender
 Arrested, beaten up, and thrown in jail
 And I really don't want to see you getting radiation poisonining from the
  metal detector
 That all passengers on foreign and domestic flights must walk through
 I'm sorry, forgive me
 For all the mean things I said to you
 You thought I didn't  have a temper
 Ha ha  ha ha ha ha  ha ha ha, surprise!
 But I really  don't want to see  you dismembered  by the marijuana sniffing  dogs
 When a simple  little nipping  would suffice,  would suffice
 (again, same as the first one)
 And I'm sorry that I said I hope the plane explodes in mid-air
 As it carries you away from me
 And I'm sorry that I said I hope you break both legs
 On the mountain while you ski
 And I'm sorry for all the nasty things I said about your mother
 Even though we both know they're true
 (it's different here at the end)
 I'm sorry,  forgive  me
 I'm swallowing  my pride  I'd feel so guilty  if you died
 Oh, I'm sorry,  but I'm  still mad  at you.
