[Verse]

G Bm F Am

Which direction is the safest to take?

G Bm F Am

You'd always shoot 'em down and set things straight

G Bm F Am

I'm not the one to joke about this disarray

Even though it's the anecdote for every debate

Am D

Cat's got the tongue

Of each and everyone

F Am G Bm

So don't go picking off your victims

F Am G

Remember you're only human

F Am G Bm F

It's a common miscommunication

Am G

Taught since we were children

[Prechorus (Same melody as intro)]

G Bm F Am G

Stop and think before you make your move

G Bm F Am

Don't turn into a buffoon

G Bm F Am G

Don't hide behind another drink

G Bm F Am

You're only hindering

Am D

Cat's got the tongue

D C

Of each and everyone of us

[Chorus]

C D Bm Em

So don't start making a fuss

C Cm G

For it's a hurdle that we must

C D Bm Em

Jump together all at once

C Cm

Before we end up back to front
