Verse 1
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

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

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

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

Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
