Intro

D - D/C# - D/F# - G - Bm - D/F# - G

Verse 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
G F#sus/A# F#/A# Bm7 . . . D7sus4 D7 G
Oh, a - nother 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
G2/B D - D/C# - D/F# - G - Bm - D/F# - G
I guess he better find one soon

Verse 2

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 shak - er
And I could see clearly an indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Bm7 . . . D7sus4 D7 G
Thanks for playing, try a -gain.
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

Chorus

I'm never speaking up a - gain
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a myste - ry
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

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 fun - ny
Looks like the jokes on me, so call me captain backfire

Chorus

I'm never speaking up a - gain
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a myste - ry
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
