Hello!
So it's probably no big secret around here that John Mayer has profoundly influenced
the way that I play guitar, the way I sing, the way I write my music.
So I thought it would be really cool to play you one of the first songs that I'd ever heard by him.
It sort of shaped the way that I played guitar in the very beginning because it's so simple
to play but at the same time it was very different as far as like chord voicings and things like that.
Anyway, it's called My Stupid Mouth and I hope you enjoy.

[Bb] So casual, [Bm]
deep
[Am] School [D] one more for me
How could I [Bm] forget
Mama said, [D] think before speaking
No thoughts up in my [C] head
Oh, what's a boy to do
[A]
I guess he'd better find [D] one
Soon, yeah
[Bm]
[D] [G]
[A] Reap it out of lips and
She [D] looked out the window
Only tiny balls of napkin paper
Played a quick game of chess with a salt and pepper [Bm] shaker
[D] I could see clearly that an ineligible line was drawn
Between what was [E] good but just slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, [Bb] the way she feels about me [B] has changed
[C] Thanks [D] for playing, try again
How could I [Em] forget
Mama said, [D] think before speaking
No thoughts up in my [C] head
Oh, what's a boy to do
[G] I guess he'd better find [A] one
I'm never [Gb] speaking [D] out [Bm] again
[D] It only [E] hurts me
[D] I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me
[Bb]
Oh, I'm never speaking up again
[D] Starting now
[G] [D]
[A] One more thing
Was it always my [D] fault
So maybe I tried too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be fun
Looks like the joke's [Bm] on me
[Gb] So call me [D] Captain Backfire
[A] I'm never [D] speaking out again
It only [G] hurts [D] me
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'd rather [E] be a [Bm] mystery
[D] Than she [E] desert me
