Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  love your body 'cause  I've lost my mind
If  you want someone to talk to,  you're wasting your time
If  you want someone to share your life,  you need someone who's alive
And  if every relationship is a two-way street, I have been screwing  in the
 back whilst you drive
 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 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  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...
 I never said I was...
 REPEAT PROGRESSION:
 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
 Yeah, yeah, yeah...
 I never said I was deep
 Easy as that.
