Alanis Morissette - Hands Clean
 
[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
BmYou wouldn't have been
Csuccessful
C DAnd if, if it weren't for me
BmYou would never have amounted
Cto 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 BmOoo-ooh don't Go telling
Ceverybody
C D BmAnd overlook this supposed
Ccrime
 
[Chorus]
C D BmWe'll fast forward to a few
Cyears later
And no-one knows except the both of us
And I have honoured your
request for silence
And you've washed your hands
clean of this
 
[Verse 2]
You're essentially an employee
And I like you having to depend
on me
You're a kind of protege
And one day you'll say you
learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me
Like a young thing would Go to a guardian
I know you sexualize me
Like 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 BmOoo-ooh don't Go telling
Ceverybody
C D BmAnd overlook this supposed
Ccrime
 
[Chorus]
C D BmWe'll fast forward to a few
Cyears later
And no-one knows except the
both of us
And I have honoured your
request for silence
And you've washed your hands
clean of this
 
[Bridge]
Em CWhat part of our history is
G Dre-invented and under rug
swept
What part of your memory is
selective and tends to forget
What's with the distance it
seems so obvious
 
[Verse 3]
Just make sure you don't tell on me
Especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves
And not tell any member of our
inner posse
I wish I could tell the world
Cos you're such a pretty thing
when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you, one day
If you'd watch that weight and
keep your firm body
