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

C5      D5                B5          C5
  We'll fast forward to a few_ years_ la_ter__
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__
[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 I like

[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
