        TOO BUSY BEING IN LOVE    Doug Stone



Intro chords  D F#m G A A7 D



D                   G                        A

If I had taken the time to write down a few lines

       A7             G            A   A7  D 

Every time that you crossed this heart of mine

D                      G                                   A

And put them all in a book How much time would that have took

A                  A7           G            A   A7   D

The words and the years have a way of just slip-ping by



CHORUS:



   Em  A      D  G           Em       A     

Oh no    too bad   There goes  the chance that I had

                D                G            A

I could have written a play so sweet and so funny

       D                    G            A

Given old Mr. Shakespear a run for his money

Bm            A            G        Em 

Written the words to the prettiest tune

D                   A         G          A  A7  

That would never leave a dry eye in the room

Bm                      Em     D

My only excuse for not doing enough

Em         F#m   Em       D      Em         F#m  Em        D  D F#m G A A7 D     

I was too busy being in love Yes I was too busy being in love



D                  G                        A

Brightly phrases appear everytime you are near

A7                     G           A   A7     D

All these words you inspire after all these years

D                            G                        A

But I never reached for the pen break the mood I was in

A         A7           G          A  A7 D

Before I knew it the words were gone a-gain  Woo ooooo



Go to chorus



                D                     G           A

I could have written a poem to make young lovers crazy

                D                   G          A

I could have written a movie for Hepburn and Tracy

Bm            A            G              Em

A beautiful song and it starts with your name

D                      G        A

Written my way into riches and fame

    Bm                         Em      D

But I have no regrets for not doing enough

Em         F#m  Em        D      Em         F#m  Em        D  

I was too busy being in love yes I was too busy being in love



Woooo oooooooo
