Status Quo – I Didnt Mean It (Guitar)

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

D   A             D      A
The prize now for you is me

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

And you'll go crawling back, saying

  D      A          D      A
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it

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
