Verse 1:
          D         D/C# 
My stupid mouth Has got me in trouble
D/F#       G        
I said too much again
Bm     D/F#             G
  To a date over dinner yesterday
           Bm    D/F#                    
And I could see  she was offended
G
She said "well anyway..."
Bm   D/F#        G
Just dying for a subject change
G       F#sus/A#      F#/A#     Bm7 . . . D7sus4    D7       G      
Oh, a - nother social casualty            Score one more for me
G         D/F#      Em7                      D/F#
How could I forget?  Mama said "think before speaking"
G         D/F#            F2
No filter in my head  Oh, what's a boy to do
  G2/B                      D   D/C#   D/F#   G   Bm   D/F#   G
I guess he better find one soon
 
Verse 2:
           D        D/C#                  D/F#                  G
We bit our lips she looked out the window rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
Bm          D/F#                         G        
 I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shak - er
Bm     D/F#               G                      Bm
 And I could see clearly   an indelible line was drawn
Bm      D/F#                G
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
G       F#sus/A#       F#/A# 
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Bm7 . . . D7sus4              D7     G
          Thanks for playing, try a -gain.
G         D/F#      Em7                       D/F#
How could I forget?   Mama said "think before speaking"
G         D/F#            F2       
No filter in my head  Oh, what's a boy to do
  G2/B                      
I guess he better find one
 
Chorus:
D     D/C#    D/F#     G      Bm 
 I'm  never   speaking up a - gain
    D/F#   G
It  only   hurts me
Bm   D/F#   G            Bm
I'd  rather be a myste - ry
     D/F#     G
Than she de - sert me
Bb - - -
Oh I'm never speaking up again
         D   D/C#   D/F#   G   Bm   D/F#   Gm/Bb . . .
Starting now
Verse 3:
         D      D/C#         D/F#         
One more thing  why is it my fault?
           G       Bm
So maybe I try too hard
         D/F#          G
But it's all because of this desire
                Bm             D/F#          G
I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be fun - ny
                            Bm     D/F#            G
Looks like the jokes on me,   so   call me captain backfire
G       F#sus/A#      F#/A#     Bm7 . . . D7sus4    D7       G      
Oh, a - nother social casualty            Score one more for me
G         D/F#      Em7                      D/F#
How could I forget?  Mama said "think before speaking"
G         D/F#            F2
No filter in my head  Oh, what's a boy to do
  G2/B                     D   D/C#   D/F#   G  Bm   D/F#   G
I guess he better find one soon
