*** Those chords ( (10x101210x) and (10x101110x) ) were taken from the 
    Alan Myers and Michael Scott's tab. If you have small fingers, I 
    recommend (xx0213), (xx0212) or (xx0585), (xx0575). 

    You can also replace (1x3013) by (1x3213) for a fuller sound.

Intro 

(1) My stupid mouth 
Has got me in trouble 
I said too much again 
To a date over dinner yesterday 
And I could see 
She was offended 
She said "well anyway..." 
Just dying for a subject change 

(2) Oh, another social casualty 
Score one more for me 
How could I forget? 
Mama said "think before speaking" 
No filter in my head 
Oh, what's a boy to do 
I guess he better find one soon 

(1) We bit our lips 
She looked out the window 
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper 
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker 
And I could see clearly 
An indelible line was drawn 
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong 

(2) Oh, the way she feels about me has changed 
Thanks for playing, try again. 
How could I forget? 
Mama said "think before speaking" 
No filter in my head 
Oh, what's a boy to do 
I guess he better find one 

(3) I'm never speaking up again 
It only hurts me 
I'd rather be a mystery 
Than she desert me 

(4) Oh I'm never speaking up again 
Starting now 

(1) One more thing 
Why is it my fault? 
So maybe I try too hard 
But it's all because of this desire 
I just wanna be liked 
I just wanna be funny 
Looks like the jokes on me 
So call me captain backfire 

(2) Oh, the way she feels about me has changed 
Thanks for playing, try again. 
How could I forget? 
Mama said "think before speaking" 
No filter in my head 
Oh, what's a boy to do 
I guess he better find one 

(5) I'm never speaking up again 
It only hurts me 
I'd rather be a mystery 
Than she desert me 

(4) Oh I'm never speaking up again 
(4) I'm never speaking up again 
(4) I'm never speaking up again 
Starting now (Intro, but ends on (3x0032))
