Status Quo - I Didn't Mean It: chords

         C
When you say those words, those three little words
       G          C
You're in at the deep end
 C
Give up the night times, give up the high times
 G           C
Give up the weekend

A#           Am        G           C
Give up the chance to be your own man
 F       C           G  C
Let the feeling take over
    A#       Am         G           C
The only way out is to lie if you can
     F         C        G
But you don't have the knack
     F           Dm       G     G7
And you'll come crawling back, saying

Chorus:
              C
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what
                             G
I said when I said I didn't mean it
              G7
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
                                                C
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
              C
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words,
           G
I didn't mean it
        F              G
I felt tied down, my pride down
     F               G
That I put that lie down
      F            G      C
The prize now for you is me

Well I was like you and all I could do was
Give up and surrender
The people can trace what they did in my face
But they're just pretenders

They told me mercenary action today
Is a line as simple and pure
But what if you found you made a mistake
The medicine's worse than the cure
And you'll be back for sure, saying

Chorus

Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack
And you'll go crawling back, saying

Chorus
