D/B   Cadd9

[Verse1]
Cadd9             Dsus2         
If it weren't for your maturity 
D/B                     Cadd9
none of this would have happened___
Cadd9             Dsus2          
If you weren't so wise beyond 
        D/B                     
your years I would've been able 
Cadd9
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          
If it weren't for me you would 
         D/B              Cadd9
never have amounted to very much

[Verse]
Cadd9                Dsus2       
  You're essentially an employee 
      D/B                Cadd9
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               
  I know you depend on me like a 
D/B                    Cadd9
young thing would to a guardian
Cadd9        Dsus2               
  I know you sexualize me like a 
D/B               Cadd9
young thing but I think I like

[Bridge]
Em                C       
What part_ of our history's_ 
       G                     D
reinvented_ and under rug swept_?
Em                 C       
What part_ of your memory_ is 
     G                        D
selective_ and tends to forget_?
D
what with this distance it seems so 
obvious?
[Verse]
Cadd9              Dsus2         
Just make sure you don't tell on 
    D/B                     Cadd9
me especially to members of your 
family
Cadd9                Dsus2       
We best keep this to ourselves 
      D/B                     
and not tell any members of our 
Cadd9
inner posse
Cadd9          Dsus2
I wish I could tell the world cuz
       D/B                     
you're such a pretty thing when 
        Cadd9
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
