VERSE1:
C D
If it weren't for your maturity
Bm C
none of this would have happened
C D
If you weren't so wise beyond your years
Bm C
I would've been able to control myself
C D
If it weren't for my attention
Bm C
you wouldn't have been successful and
C D
If it weren't for me you would
Bm C
never have amounted to very much
C D Bm C
Oooooh this could be messy
C D Bm C
But you don't seem to mind
C D Bm C
Oooooh don't go telling everybody
C D Bm C
And overlook this supposed crime
C D Bm C
We'll fast forward to a few years later
C D Bm C
And no one knows except the both of us
C D Bm C
And I have honored your request for silence
C D Bm C
And you've washed your hands clean of this
VERSE2:
You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protégé and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it
C D Bm C
Oooooh this could be messy
C D Bm C
But you don't seem to mind
C D Bm C
Oooooh don't go telling everybody
C D Bm C
And overlook this supposed crime
C D Bm C
We'll fast forward to a few years later
C D Bm C
And no one knows except the both of us
C D Bm C
And I have honored your request for silence
C D Bm C
And you've washed your hands clean of this
BRIDGE:
Em C G
what part of our history's reinvented
D
and under rug swept?
Em C G
what part of your memory is selective
D
and tends to forget?
D
what with this distance it seems so obvious?
VERSE3:
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 members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
C D Bm C
Oooooh this could be messy
C D Bm C
But you don't seem to mind
C D Bm C
Oooooh don't go telling everybody
C D Bm C
And overlook this supposed crime
C D Bm C
We'll fast forward to a few years later
C D Bm C
And no one knows except the both of us
C D Bm C
And I have honored your request for silence
C D Bm C
And you've washed your hands clean of this
