----I NEVER SAID I WAS DEEP----
---------Jarvis Cocker---------
INTRO:    A     C#m     F#m     Bm  E  
AI love your body 'C#mcause I've lost my mind
F#mIf you want someone to talk toBm, you're wasting your timeE  
AIf you want someone to share your lifeC#m, you need someone who's alive
F#mAnd if every relationship is a two-way street, I have been scBmrewing in the 
back whilst you driveE  
I never said I was Adeep, but I am profoundly sC#mhallow
My lack of knowledge is vF#mast, and my horizons are naBmrrowE  
I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever
And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be 
waiting forever
Forever and ever
C#mI can dance you to the end of the night 'cause I'm afF#mraid of the dark
I have to cBmonfess: I'm out of my depth
You're going over my hEead and straight through my heart
REPEAT INTRO/VERSE/FIRST OF ONLY TWO RIFFS IN SONG
Some girls like to play it dirty, some girls want to be your mum
Me, I disrespected you whilst we were waiting for the taxi to come
My morality is shabby, my behaviour unacceptable
No, I'm not looking for a relationship, just a willing receptacle
I never said I was..E.
I never said I was..E.
I never said I was..E.
I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow
Oh, yeah. I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever
And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be 
waiting forever
Forever and ever
I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow
I never said I was deep

A C#m F#m Bm E

INTRO:

A C#m

I love your body 'cause I've lost my mind

F#m Bm E

If you want someone to talk to, you're wasting your time

A C#m

If you want someone to share your life, you need someone who's alive

F#m Bm

And if every relationship is a two-way street, I have been screwing in the

back whilst you drive

A C#m

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow

F#m Bm E

My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow

I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever

And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be

waiting forever

Forever and ever

C#m F#m

I can dance you to the end of the night 'cause I'm afraid of the dark

I have to confess: I'm out of my depth

You're going over my head and straight through my heart

REPEAT INTRO/VERSE/FIRST OF ONLY TWO RIFFS IN SONG

Some girls like to play it dirty, some girls want to be your mum

Me, I disrespected you whilst we were waiting for the taxi to come

My morality is shabby, my behaviour unacceptable

No, I'm not looking for a relationship, just a willing receptacle

I never said I was...

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow

My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow

Oh, yeah. I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever

And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be

waiting forever

Forever and ever

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow

My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow

I never said I was deep
