Someone Saved My Life Tonight

G C G

When I think of those East End lights

C

Muggy nights

G F C

The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs

F G

Prima Donna lord you really should have been there

F G C

Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair

Cm

And it's one more beer

A7

And I don't hear you anymore

C

We've all gone crazy lately

C#dim G

My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

D

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

[Chorus]

C G Am G

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear

C G Am

You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

G C Bm7

You nearly had me roped and tied

C C#dim

Altar-bound, hypnotized

G

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

C#dim

You're a butterfly

C

And butterflies are free to fly

C#dim G Bm7 C

Fly away, high away bye bye

C Bm7 Am G F

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Intro: (do twice)

[Verse 2]

G C G

I never realized the passing hours

C

Of evening showers

G F C

A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

F G

I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

F G C

Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen

Cm

It's four o'clock in the morning

A7

Damn it listen to me good

C

I'm sleeping with myself tonight

C#dim [x45650] G

Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

D

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

[Chorus]

C G Am G

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear

C G Am

You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

G C Bm7

You nearly had me roped and tied

C C#dim

Altar-bound, hypnotized

G

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

C#dim

You're a butterfly

C

And butterflies are free to fly

C#dim G Bm7 C

Fly away, high away bye bye

C Bm7 Am G F

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

(Then do Intro Twice Again, then go to Bridge)

[Bridge]

Am G

And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river

Em7

Clinging to your stocks and bonds

C

Paying your H.P. demands forever

Am G

They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home

Em7 C

Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight

Em7 C

Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight

Em7

Someone saved my life tonight

C C#dim Bm7 C

So save your strength and run the field you play alone

[Chorus]

C G Am G

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear

C G Am

You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

G C Bm7

You nearly had me roped and tied

C C#dim

Altar-bound, hypnotized

G

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

C#dim

You're a butterfly

C

And butterflies are free to fly

C#dim G Bm7 C

Fly away, high away bye bye

C Bm7 Am G F

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

(Then go to the ending)
