The Flaming Lips
"The Spiderbite Song"

This song is mainly piano based, but it sounds alright to play the
chords on guitar....

INTRO: A       D   E

A                 D      E            A         D    E
When you got that spider bite on your hand

A                  D       E            A      D     E
I thought we would have to break up the band

A                       D      E          A    D      E
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


      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 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   A
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
