Status Quo - I Didnt 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

Prechorus:

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
                                                      G
I didn't mean to say what 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
                                                      G
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, 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

II:

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


Pre-chorus 2:

     A#      Am        G        C
They told me mercenary action today
     F       C          G C
Is a line as simple and pure
    A#          Am        G        C
But what if you found you made a mistake
    F          C              G   C    
The medicine's worse than the cure
    F         C        G     G7
And you'll be back for sure, saying

Chorus:

              C
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
                                                      G
I didn't mean to say what 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
                                                      G
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
       F             G         
I felt tied down, my pride down
