[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

 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
[Chorus]
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

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

Em               C              G                    D
What's with the distance    it seems           so obvious
[Verse 3]
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
