(Ab/Eb Db)* (Ab/Eb Db)*
Ab/Eb Db/Eb Ab/Eb Db
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
Ab/C Ebm/Bb Db/Ab
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Gb Gb9 Ab
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Gb Gb9 Ab Db
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
Dbm(7) Bb/D
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
Db
We've all gone crazy lately
Bb/D Ab/Eb (Eb)
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
Db Ab/C Bbm7 Ab/C
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
Db Ab/C Bbm7
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
Ab/C Db Ab/C
You nearly had me roped and tied
Db Bb/D
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Ab/Eb
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
[Bb7/D]
Ddim/F
You're a butterfly
Db
And butterflies are free to fly
Bb/D Ab/Eb C7 Db Db Ab/C Ab/C Bbm Bbm Db/Ab Gb (Gb/Db)
Fly away, high away, bye bye
(Ab/Eb Db)* (Ab/Eb Db)*
Ab/Eb Db/Eb Ab/Eb Db
I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
Ab/C Ebm/Bb Db/Ab
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
Gb Gb9 Ab
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Gb Gb9 Ab Db
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
Dbm(7)
It's four o'clock in the morning
Bb/D
Damn it listen to me good
Db
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Bb/D Ab/Eb (Eb)
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
(CHORUS)
(Ab/Eb Db)* (Ab/Eb Db)*
Bbm Ab/C
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Eb/F
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Db/Ab
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Bbm Ab
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Eb/F Db/Ab
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Eb/F Db/Ab
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Eb/F
Someone saved my life tonight
Db/Ab Bb/D
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
(CHORUS)
(Ab/Eb Db)* (Ab/Eb Db)*
(Ab/Eb Db)*
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight.
(REPEAT, FADE)
