  14. So you think that you have seen her,
  15.                      D/F#         G
  16. When you┤re lying in between her
  17.                D                     A/C#
  18. And you tell me that you don┤t care
  19.          D/F#                   G

  35.                      D             A/C#
  36. Now you┤re ready for a merger
  37.                  D/F#                G
  38. With the company you┤re part of
  39.                D                 A/C#
  40. And you do the dirty business
  41.                  D/F#                 G
  42. With your latest sleeping partner
  43.                  D            G

  51. With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance
  52. F#m            F               Em            A7
  53. Busy bodies, busy busy, getting nowhere

  57.                      D                  A/C#
  58. Now you┤ve given your performance
  59.                     D/F#           G
  60. Though the matinee was idle
  61.                D                   A/C#
  62. And you find out that a wave of
  63.                D/F#                        G
  64. Her right hand could seem so tidal
