Em7                      F#m7
 What is this thing in life

           F#7          Bm
 That persuades me to spend

 This is the place to be

 Anyway you can see

     G       G/B    C               D                 Em7
 Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head

            C               D
 When I'm alone I think of you

                   Em7              Em7/D     C
 And the life we'd lead If we could only be free

 From these distractions,       ooh__

 The postman's at the door

           F#7         Bm                  Em7
 While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall

                       F#m7      F7           Bm(add 9)  Bm
 Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear, ooh______

 Nothing is too small, away from all this jazz

 We could do anything at all_____

 From the noise of a busy day___
