               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
