               D                         A/C#

So you think that you have seen her,

                     D/F#         G

When you´re lying in between her

               D                     A/C#

And you tell me that you don´t care

         D/F#                   G

Busy bodies getting nowhere

       D                           G

Everybody´s getting meaner

            D          A                     D  D/F#  G    D  Bm7  A

Busy bodies caught in the concertina

D                        G         E                A

You check her outline, break her regulations

F#/C#             Bm/D                      E            A  G

You watch her legs through several service stations

F#m            F               Em               A7

Busy bodies, very busy, getting nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

                     D             A/C#

Now you´re ready for a merger

                 D/F#                G

With the company you´re part of

               D                 A/C#

And you do the dirty business

                 D/F#                 G

With your latest sleeping partner

                 D            G

You´re becoming automatic

           D        A                             D  D/F#  G    D  Bm7  A

Busy bodies out playing with the traffic

D                 G      E                      A

You want attention. You try my patience

F#/C#               Bm/D                     E              A        G

With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance

F#m            F               Em            A7

Busy bodies, busy busy, getting nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

                     D                  A/C#

Now you´ve given your performance

                    D/F#           G

Though the matinee was idle

               D                   A/C#

And you find out that a wave of

               D/F#                        G

Her right hand could seem so tidal

              D             G

Just a second satisfaction

            D            A                     D  D/F#  G    D  Bm7  A

Busy bodies temp
