[Verse1]

Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9

If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened___
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to
control myself
Cadd9 (drums) Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
if
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much

[Pre-chorus]
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9

[Chorus]
C5 D5 B5 C5
We'll fast forward to a few_ years_ la_ter__

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__

[Verse]
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
Cadd9 Dsus2
You're kind of my protégé
 D/B Cadd9
and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me and
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
I know you sexualize me like a young thing but I think you

[Bridge]
Em C G D
What part_ of our history's_ reinvented_ and under rug swept_?
Em C G D
What part_ of your memory_ is selective_ and tends to forget_?
D
what with this distance it seems so obvious?

[Verse]
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your
family
Cadd9 Dsus2 D/B Cadd9
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner
posse
Cadd9 Dsus2
I wish I could tell the world cuz
D/B Cadd9
you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
Cadd9 Dsus2
I might want to marry you one day
D/B Cadd9
if you watch that weight and keep your firm body

[Repeat Pre-chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]
