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 

Chorus:
       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 

Chorus:
       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 

Chorus:
       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
