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... |
Repeat Chorus |
