Strum
D-DU-UDU
When  you got that spider bite  on your hand
I  thought we would have  to break  up the band
To  lose your arm would surely  upset  your brain
The  poison then could reach  your heart  from a vein
 I was glad  that it didn’t destroy  you
How  sad that would be
Cause  if it destroyed  you
 It would destroy  me
When  you had that acci-dent  in your car
That  whole thing just really seemed  too bizarre
Dodging  holes and telephone poles  through the dash
A  million to one that you  would survive  such a crash
 I was glad  that it didn’t destroy  you
How  sad that would be
Cause  if it destroyed  you
 It would destroy  me
When  you fell in love,  it was  so sweet
So  devoted, completely swept  off your feet
Love  is the greatest thing  a heart  can know
 But the hole  that it leaves in its absence  can make you feel....so....low
 And I was glad  that it didn’t destroy  you
How  sad that would  be
Cause  if it destroyed  you
It  would destroy me
