Someone Saved My Life Tonight

Ab/Eb  /Eb /F /G /Ab /G /F /Eb 
Db /Db /Eb /F /Gb /F /Db

Ab/Eb                     Db/Eb  Ab/Eb   Db
When I think of those East End   lights, muggy nights
    Ab/C                  Gb/Bb         Db/Ab
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Gb                          Ab
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Gb                      Ab             Db
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
        Dbm                                 Bb7
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         Bbm        Ab/C
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
Db                  Ab/C        Bbm
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
    Ab/C    Dbmaj7           Ab/C
You nearly  had me roped and tied
Db           Bb/D
Altar-bound, hypnotized
      Ab/Eb
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         Bb7/F
You're a butterfly
    Db
And butterflies are free to fly
Bb/D     Ab/E b      C7  Db   Ab/C  Bbm  /Ab   Gb
Fly away, high away, bye bye

[INTRO]

I never realized the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

Bbm                                      Ab/C
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Fm7
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
            Db/Ab
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Bbm                                  Ab/C
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Fm7                            Db/Ab
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Fm7                            Db/Ab
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Fm7
Someone saved my life tonight
   Db/Ab                                    Bb7
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

[OUTRO is same as INTRO]
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
