Intro: C Am F G } (2x)
C Am C Am
I came home to an empty house and I found a little note:
F G F G
"Don't wait up for me tonight" and that was all she wrote.
C Am
Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town
C Am
with all your high-rollin' friends?
F G
But what do you when you come up empty?
F G
Where do you go when the party ends?

C Am F G
You were just too busy being fabulous. Too busy to think about us.
C Am F G
Well, I don’t know what you were dreaming of; Somehow you forgot about love.
C Fm A7 C
And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh.--------------------

C Am C Am
A little time in the country; A day or two to slow down.
F G F G
A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight; Maybe some foolin’ around.
C Am C Am
But you think time is just a magazine and money’s just a thrill.
F G
I’ve waited for so long for you to change your way of livin’,
F G
But now I realize that you never will.

Cause you were just too busy being fabulous. Too busy to think about us.
C Am F G
Lookin’ for something you’ll never find. You’ll never know what you left behind.

Cause you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh. --------------------

You tell a joke and everybody’s laughing. That’s something you know how to do.
C Am C Am D G
You’ve always been the life of the party. But now, my baby - The joke is on you.
C Am F G
And you were just too busy being fabulous. Too busy to think about us.
C Am F G
Runnin’ after something that never comes. What in the world are you runnin’ from?
C Am F G
And you were just too busy being fabulous. Too busy to think about us.
C Am
To drink the wine from the winner’s cup;
F G
To notice your children were growing up.
C Am F G
And you were just too busy being fabulous. Too busy, too busy.
