[Intro]
[Strophe]
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 have been able to control myself
 C                 D 
If it weren't for my attention
      Bm                   C 
You wouldn't have been successful
            C               D 
And if, if it weren't for me
                       Bm              C 
You would never have amounted to very much
[Pre-Refrain]
 C   D    Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    C  D       Bm      C 
But you don't seem to mind
 C   D            Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    C     D          Bm      C 
And overlook this supposed crime
[Refrain]
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 honoured your request for silence
C           D           Bm         C 
And you've washed your hands clean of this
[Strophe]
C                     D 
You're essentially an employee
       Bm                   C 
And I like you having to depend on me
C                  D 
You're a kind of protege
         Bm                         C 
And one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
C             D 
I know you depend on me
        Bm                        C 
Like a young thing would go to a guardian
C           D 
I know you sexualize me
        Bm                       C 
Like a young thing would and I think I like it
[Pre-Refrain]
 C   D    Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    C  D       Bm      C 
But you don't seem to mind
 C   D            Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    C     D          Bm      C 
And overlook this supposed crime
[Refrain]
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 honoured your request for silence
C           D           Bm         C 
And you've washed your hands clean of this
[Pont]
Em                C              G                      D 
What part of our history is re-invented and under rug swept
Em                 C           G                       D 
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget
                 C                 G      D 
What's with the distance it seems so obvious
[Strophe]
C                         D 
Just make sure you don't tell on me
   Bm                     C 
Especially to members of your family
C              D 
We best keep this to ourselves
     Bm                        C 
And not tell any member of our inner posse
C               D 
I wish I could tell the world
            Bm                               C 
Cos you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
C                D 
I might want to marry you, one day
         Bm                     C 
If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body
[Pre-Refrain]
 C   D    Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    C  D       Bm      C 
But you don't seem to mind
 C   D            Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    C     D          Bm      C 
And overlook this supposed crime
[Refrain]
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 honoured your request for silence
C           D           Bm         C 
And you've washed your hands clean of this
[Pre-Refrain]
 C   D    Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    C  D       Bm      C 
But you don't seem to mind
 C   D            Bm           C 
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
    C     D          Bm      C 
And overlook this supposed crime
[Refrain]
C           D           Bm         C
