CGCGVerse 1:
CGCG
It sounded so much better in my mind, mind
CGCG
I guess I messed it up again this time, time, time
CGCG
There's something else that I wanted to say, say
CGCG
But my twisted tongue got in the way, way, way
Pre-Chorus:
CG
Ooh
CG
My mouth is moving without thinking
CG
Ooh
CG
My brain and mouth on different systems
CGCG
Why can't you see my side of things
CGCG
I've been thinking 'bout it ever since
Chorus:
CG
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
EmD
But I kinda froze in my tracks
CD
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
EmD
But I kinda had a panic attack
CGEmD
I wish I could talk good
CG
I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk
EmD
I wish I could talk good

My brain and mouth on different systems
