| Cadd9 D9 |
| If it weren't for your maturity |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| none of this would have happened |
| Cadd9 D9 D/B |
| If you weren't so wise beyond your years |
| Cadd9 |
| I would've been able to control myself |
| Cadd9 D9 D/B |
| If it weren't for my attention |
| Cadd9 |
| you wouldn't have been successful and if |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| If it weren't for me |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| you would never have amounted to very much |
| Cadd9 D9 D/B Cadd9 |
| Oo ooh this could be messy but |
| Cadd9 D9 D/B Cadd9 |
| You don't seem to miind |
| Cadd9 D9 D/B Cadd9 |
| Ooh don't go telling everybody and |
| Cadd9 D9 D/B Cadd9 |
| Over look this supposed crime |
| Chorus: |
| C5 D5 B5 C5 |
| We'll fast forward to a few years later |
| C5 D5 B5 C5 |
| And no one knows except the both of us |
| C5 D5 B5 C5 |
| And I have honored your request for silence |
| C5 D5 B5 C5 |
| And you've washed your hands clean of this |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| You're essentially an employee and |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| I like you having to depend on me |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| You're kind of my prot'g' |
| D/B |
| and one day you'll say you |
| Cadd9 |
| learned all you know from me and |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| I know you depend on me |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| like a young thing would to a guardian |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| I know you sexualize me |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| like a young thing but I think you |
| Oo ooh this could... |
| Repeat Chorus |
| Em C |
| What part of our history's |
| G D Em |
| reinvented and under rug swept? |
| Em C |
| What part of your memory |
| G D |
| is selective and tends to forget? |
| D |
| what with this distance it seems so obvious? |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| Just make sure you don't tell |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| on me especially to members of your family |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| We best keep this to ourselves |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| and not tell any members of our inner posse |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| I wish I could tell the world cuz |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly |
| Cadd9 D9 |
| I might want to marry you one day |
| D/B Cadd9 |
| if you watch that weight and keep your firm body |
| Oo ooh this could... |
