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#°                          G 
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor 
            D 
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 


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#° 
Altar-bound, hypnotized 
      G 
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear 
        C#° 
You're a butterfly 
     C 
And butterflies are free to fly 
C#°      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

It's four o'clock in the morning

Damn it listen to me good 
C 
I'm sleeping with myself tonight 
C#°                                  G 
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive 
        D 
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

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
