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 D7/4 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
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

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
