Lyrics

Oh (Em7)no, I (Bm7)see

a spi der web is tan gled up with me.

And I (Em7)lost my head,

and thought of all the stu pid things I’d (G)said.

Oh (Em9)no, what’s (Bm)this?

A spi der web and I’m caught in the mid dle.

So I (Em9)turned to run,

and thought of all the stu pid things I’d (G)done.

Sing ing out, And ah, I nev er meant to cause you trou (Em7)ble.

And ah, I nev er meant to do you wrong.

And ah, well if I ev er caused you trou (Em7)ble,

then oh, no, I nev er meant to do you harm.
