ALANIS MORISSETTE - HANDS CLEAN

[Intro]
C D Bm C

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
 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
                 D
You're a kind of protege
        Bm                                 C
And one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
             D
I know you depend on me
       Bm                         C
Like a young thing would go to a guardian
           D
I know you sexualize me
       Bm                      C
Like a young thing would and I think I like it

[Pre-Chorus]
 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

[Bridge]
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

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
                     D
We best keep this to ourselves
    Bm                         C
And not tell any member of our inner posse
               D
I wish I could tell the world
           Bm                              C
Cos you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
                D
I might want to marry you, one day
         Bm                    C
If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body

[Pre-Chorus]
 C   D    Bm           C
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    C  D       Bm      C
And I 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

[Pre-Chorus]
 C   D    Bm           C
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
    C  D       Bm      C
And I 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
