Cadd9Dsus2D/BCadd9
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much

What part_ of our history's_ reinvented_ and under rug swept_?
EmCGD
What part_ of your memory_ is selective_ and tends to forget_?
D
what with this distance it seems so obvious?
[Verse]
Cadd9Dsus2D/BCadd9
Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
Cadd9Dsus2D/BCadd9
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
Cadd9Dsus2
I wish I could tell the world cuz
D/BCadd9
you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
Cadd9Dsus2
I might want to marry you one day
D/BCadd9
if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
