C would have happened.
If
D you weren't so wise

If

And if it
D weren't for me, you would
G never have amounted to
C very much.

C silence.
And
D you've washed

C know this.
You're
G essentially a lamb's eye, I like you having did it out of love.
And you're a kind of protege, and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me.
And I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a body.

C would, I think I like it.

What part of
C our history's _
G _ reinvented and on the
D ropes swept.
_ _
Em _ What part of
C your memory is
G selected and tends to
D forget.
What with this distance it seems so obvious.
C Just make
D sure you don't tell on
G me, especially to
C members of your family.
We
D must keep this to
G ourselves and not tell any
C members of our inner posse.
I
D wish I could
G tell the world, cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up
C properly.
I
D might want to marry you one
G day if you'd watch that
C weight and you keep your firm body.
