[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

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
