[Intro]
C D Bm C
[Verse 1]
C DIf it weren't for your maturity
Bm CNone of this would have happened
C DIf you weren't so wise beyond your years
Bm CI would have been able to control myself
C DIf it weren't for my attention
Bm CYou wouldn't have been successful
C DAnd if, if it weren't for me
Bm CYou would never have amounted to very much
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm COoo-ooh this could be messy
C D Bm CBut you don't seem to mind
C D Bm COoo-ooh don't Go telling everybody
C D Bm CAnd overlook this supposed crime
[Chorus]
C D Bm CWe'll fast forward to a few years later
C D Bm CAnd no-one knows except the both of us
C D Bm CAnd I have honoured your request for silence
C D Bm CAnd you've washed your hands clean of this
[Verse 2]
C DYou're essentially an employee
Bm CAnd I like you having to depend on me
DYou're a kind of protege
Bm CAnd one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
DI know you depend on me
Bm CLike a young thing would Go to a guardian
DI know you sexualize me
Bm CLike a young thing would and I think I like it
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm COoo-ooh this could be messy
C D Bm CBut you don't seem to mind
C D Bm COoo-ooh don't Go telling everybody
C D Bm CAnd overlook this supposed crime
[Chorus]
C D Bm CWe'll fast forward to a few years later
C D Bm CAnd no-one knows except the both of us
C D Bm CAnd I have honoured your request for silence
C D Bm CAnd you've washed your hands clean of this
[Bridge]
Em C G DWhat part of our history is re-invented and under rug swept
Em C G DWhat part of your memory is selective and tends to forget
What's with the distance it seems so obvious
[Verse 3]
C DJust make sure you don't tell on me
Bm CEspecially to members of your family
DWe best keep this to ourselves
Bm CAnd not tell any member of our inner posse
DI wish I could tell the world
Bm CCos you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
DI might want to marry you, one day
Bm CIf you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm COoo-ooh this could be messy
C D Bm CAnd I don't seem to mind
C D Bm COoo-ooh don't Go telling everybody
C D Bm CAnd overlook this supposed crime
[Chorus]
C D Bm CWe'll fast forward to a few years later
C D Bm CAnd no-one knows except the both of us
C D Bm CAnd I have honoured your request for silence
C D Bm CAnd you've washed your hands clean of this
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm COoo-ooh this could be messy
C D Bm CAnd I don't seem to mind
C D Bm COoo-ooh don't Go telling everybody
C D Bm CAnd overlook this supposed crime
[Chorus]
C D Bm CWe'll fast forward to a few years later
C D Bm CAnd no-one knows except the both of us
C D Bm CAnd I have honoured your request for silence
C D Bm CAnd you've washed your hands clean of this
