[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
When [C]you say those words,
those three little words
You're [G]in at the [C]deep end
Give up the night times,
give up the high times
[G]Give up [C]the weekend
[Bb]Give up the [F]chance to [G]be your own [C]man
[F]Let the feel[C]ing [G]take [C]over
The [Bb]only way [F]out is [G]to lie if you [C]can
But [F]you don't [C]have [G]the knack
And [Dm]you'll go [G]crawling back, saying
I didn't [C]mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said
when I said I didn't [G]mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what
I said it was only a [C]game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words,
I [F]didn't [G]mean it
I felt [F]tied down, my [G]pride down
That [F]I put t[C]hat l[G]ie down
The [F]prize [Dm]now [F]for [G]you is m[C]e[G][C]
Well I was like you and all I could do was
Give [G]up and [C]surrender
The people can trace what
they did in my face
But [G]they're just pre[C]tenders
[Bb]They told me [F]mercenary ac[G]tion [C]today
Is a [F]line as sim[C]ple [G]and [C]pure
But [Bb]what if you [F]found [G]you
made a mis[C]take
The [F]medicine's [C]worse than [G]the cure
And [Dm]you'll be [F]back [Dm]for sure, [G]saying
I didn't [C]mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said
when I said I [F]didn't [G]mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what
I said it was only a [C]game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words,
I [G]didn't mean it
I felt [F]tied down, my [G]pride down
That [F]I p[Dm]ut t[C]hat li[G]e down
[Dm]The [F]prize [Dm]now f[F]or y[G]ou is m[C]e[G][C]
[Bb]Give up the [F]chance [G]to be your own [C]man
[F]Let the feel[C]ing [G]take [C]over
[Bb]The only way [F]out is [G]to lie if you [C]can
But [F]you don't [C]have [G]the knack
And [Dm]you'll go [F]crawling [G]back, saying
I didn't [C]mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said
when I said I [G]didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what
I said it was only a [C]game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words,
I [G]didn't mean it
I felt [F]tied down, my [G]pride down
That [F]I put that l[G]ie down
The [F]prize now for [G]you is [C]me
