BUSINESS TIME
=============
*this is based on the HBO TV Series. I think the lyrics from the
Album version are Slightly different, but the chords are the same.
It also sounds better if you mute the chords now and then as you play
them. If you listen to the song you'll hear what i mean.
G5: (3,5,5,x,x,x)
Gm: (3,5,5,3,3,3)
Cm: (x,3,5,5,4,3)
Dm: (x,5,7,7,6,5)
Cm*: (8,10,10,8,8,8)
Dm*: (10,12,12,10,10,10)
Bb: (6,8,8,7,6,6)
Gm*: (x,10,12,12,11,10)

[Verse 1]
Gm
Ah yeah! Girl, tonight we're gonna make love
you know how i know? because it's wednesday
Cm Dm Gm
and wednesday night is the night that we usually make love
tuesday night is the night that we go to your mothers house
and i teach her how to use the video machine again
Cm*
but wednesday night is the night that we make love!
Bb Gm
It's when everything is just right
you're not too tired from your after work, social netball team practice
there's nothing good on tv
Cm Dm Gm
mmmm... conditions are perfect for making love
you turn to me and say something sexy like:
"i might go to bed, i've got work in the morning"
Cm
i know what you're trying to say, baby
Dm Gm
you're trying to say "ah yeah, it's business time"
[Chorus 1]
Cm Dm Gm
it's business, it's business time, i know what you're trying to say
you're trying to say it's time for business it's business time, ooo
Cm Dm Gm
it's business, it's business time
(stop)
oh, oh-oh-woh-oh-woh yeah, yeah!
[Verse 2]
Gm
next thing you know we're in the bathroom brushing our teeth
that's all part of it, that's forplay
Cm Dm
forplay is very important in love making
Gm
then you go sort out the recycling
Cm Dm
which isn't part of the forplay but it's still very important
Gm
next thing you know we're in the bedroom
you're wearing that same old ugly, baggy t-shirt with the stain on it
that you got from that team building exercise
Cm Dm
that you did for your old work several years ago
Gm
team building exercise, '99!
i take off my clothes but i trip over my jeans
Gm*
'cause i'm still wearing my shoes, but it's okay
'cause i turn it all into a sexy dance
next thing you know i'm wearing absolutely nothing... except for my socks
and you know when i'm down to just my socks what time it is;
it's business time...

it's time for business that's why they're called business socks, ooo
Cm* Dm* Gm*
it's business, it's business time
oh, huh-huh-huh-huh yeah, yeah!
[Verse 3]
Gm
making love... making love for... making love for two...
Cm Dm Gm
making love for two minutes
when it's with me you only need two minutes girl, because i'm so intense
Cm Dm
two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven, mmmm
Gm
you turn to me and say something sexy like: "is that it!?!"
i know what you're trying to say girl, you're trying to say
Cm Bb Gm
"ah yeah, that's it!" then you tell me you want some more
well er... i'm not surprised, but i am quite sleepy
[Chorus 3]
Cm* Dm* Gm
it's business, it's business time, business hours are over, baby
Cm* Dm* (Gm)
it's business, it's business time
