[Verse]
G                  A
If it weren't for your maturity
 F#m                    G
None of this would have happened
    G                A
If you weren't so wise beyond your years
 F#m                      G
I would have been able to control myself
 G                 A
If it weren't for my attention
      F#m                   G
You wouldn't have been successful
            G               A
And if, if it weren't for me
                       F#m              G
You would never have amounted to very much


[Pre-Chorus]
 G   A    F#m           G
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    G  A       F#m      G
But you don't seem to mind
 G   A            F#m           G
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    G     A          F#m      G
And overlook this supposed crime


[Chorus]
G           A           F#m         G
We'll fast forward to a few years later
    G       A              F#m       G
And no-one knows except the both of us
    G        A            F#m           G
And I have honoured your request for silence
    G       A          F#m         G
And you've washed your hands clean of this


[Verse]
G                    A
You're essentially an employee
    F#m                   G
And I like you having to depend on me
G                A
You're a kind of protege
    F#m                             G
And one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
G            A
I know you depend on me
       F#m                      G
Like a young thing would go to a guardian
G              A
I know you sexualize me
       F#m                      G
Like a young thing would and I think I like it


[Pre-Chorus]
 G   A    F#m           G
Ooo-ooh this could get messy
    G  A       F#m      G
But you don't seem to mind
 G   A            F#m           G
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    G     A          F#m      G
And overlook this supposed crime


[Chorus]
G           A           F#m         G
We'll fast forward to a few years later
    G       A              F#m       G
And no-one knows except the both of us
    G        A            F#m           G
And I have honoured your request for silence
    G       A          F#m         G
And you've washed your hands clean of this


[Bridge]
Bm               G              D                    A
What part of our history is re-invented and under rug swept?
Bm                G          D                       A
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?

What's with the distance it seems so obvious?


[Verse]
G                       A
Just make sure you don't tell on me
  F#m                          G
Especially to members of your family
G           A
We best keep this to ourselves
    F#m                         G
And not tell any member of our inner posse
G             A
I wish I could tell the world
    F#m                         G
Cos you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
G              A
I might want to marry you, one day
    F#m                        G
If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body


[Pre-Chorus]
 G   A    F#m           G
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    G  A       F#m      G
But you don't seem to mind
 G   A            F#m           G
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    G     A          F#m      G
And overlook this supposed crime


[Chorus]
G           A           F#m         G
We'll fast forward to a few years later
    G       A              F#m       G
And no-one knows except the both of us
    G        A            F#m           G
And I have honoured your request for silence
    G       A          F#m         G
And you've washed your hands clean of this


[Pre-Chorus]
 G   A    F#m           G
Ooo-ooh this could get messy
    G  A       F#m      G
But you don't seem to mind
 G   A            F#m           G
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    G     A          F#m      G
And overlook this supposed crime


[Chorus]
G           A           F#m         G
We'll fast forward to a few years later
    G       A              F#m       G
And no-one knows except the both of us
    G        A            F#m           G
And I have honoured your request for silence
    G       A          F#m         G
And you've washed your hands clean of this
