[C] [G] [C]
When you say those words, those pretty little [G] words, [C] you're in a deep end.
Give up the night time, give up the [G] high time, [C] give up your weekends.
[Bb] [Am] Give up [G] the chance to [C] be your [F] own man, [C] let the [G] dream you take [C] [Bb] over.
[Am] Be what you [G] have, [C] like you [F] can, [C] you don't [G] have a dad.
[Dm] You've [G] both gone mad, [C] saying I didn't mean it.
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean say what I said.
I [G] didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it,
I didn't mean stay what I said.
It was [C] all in your head.
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean,
say it's [G] so much that you embedded into me.
[F] I'm gonna tie [G] down my wild [F] sound, let our hearts [G] run dry,
Lie down, let it [F] rise [G] now, for you [C] is me.
Well, I was not you, and nor will you be too, I'll give up the gender.
The people can say what they did in my place, [C] but they're just pretenders.
[Bb] They call [G] me this, and they [C] ask me to [F] take it, [C] they're not as [G] simple [C] and pure.
[Bb] What if [G] they found you [C] made an [F] estate, but [C] the medicine [G] wasn't the cure,
[F] And you'll be [G] back for sure.
[C] Saying I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean to say what I said,
I [G] said I 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 [C] only a game.
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean to tell you so many [G] words,
I didn't mean it.
[F] I'm gonna tie [G] down my wild [F] sound, let our [G] hearts run dry,
[F] Lie down, let it rise [G] now, for you [C] is me.
I
[G]
[C] [Am] gave up [G] the chance to be your [C] romance, [C] left the [G] feelings to [C] take over,
[Bb] The only way [G] out is to [C] lie if you can, [F] but you [G] don't have the night,
[D] You're [G] gonna fall in line.
Saying I [C] didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean to say what I said,
I [G] said I 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 [C] only a game.
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean to tell you [G] so many words,
I didn't mean it.
[F] The pipe [G] down, my pipe down, [F] let out [G] the blood
The [F] pipe [G] down, for you [C] is me
