I Didn't Mean It by Status Quo
I Didn't Mean It
A
When you say those words, those three little words
C
You're in at the deep end
A
Give up the night times, give up the high times
C
Give up the weekend
C A
Give up the chance to be your own man
D A
Let the feeling take over
C A
The only way out is to lie if you can
D A
But you don't have the knack
D A
And you'll go crawling back, saying
D A D A
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
D A C
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
D A D A
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
D A C
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
D A D A
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
D A C
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
D A D A
I felt tied down, my pride down
D A D A
That I put that lie down
D A D A
The prize now for you is me
A
Well I was like you and all I could do was
C
Give up and surrender
A
The people can trace what they did in my face
C
But they're just pretenders
C A
They told me mercenary action today
D A
Is a line as simple and pure
C A
But what if you found you made a mistake
D A
The medicine's worse than the cure
D A
And you'll be back for sure, saying
D A D A
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
D A C
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
D A D A
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
D A C
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
D A D A
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
D A C
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
D A D A
I felt tied down, my pride down
D A D A
That I put that lie down
