Verse:
G    Em    Bm
  Oh no, I see,
  F7            Am              G
A spider web is tangled up with me,
      Em      Bm
And I lost my head,
     F7                Am              G
And thought of all the stupid things I said...

Verse 2:

  Oh no what's this?
  F7                  Am                      G
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
     Em        Bm
So I turned to run,
    F7                  Am                G
And thought of all the stupid things I've done,

Chorus:
A7                             Em
Ah -I never meant to cause you trouble,
    A7                          Em
And ah -I never meant to do you wrong,
    A7                            Em
And ah -well if I ever caused you trouble,
      A7                            Em
Then oh no, I never meant to do you harm.

  Oh no, I see,
  F7                  Am                 G
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
     Em        Bm
So I twist and turn,
    F7           Am                 G
But here I am in my little bubble,

Chorus:
                A7                             Em
And singing out ah -I never meant to cause you trouble,
A7                          Em
Ah -I never meant to do you wrong,
    A7                            Em
