[Verse 1]
G                       C         G
  When I think of those East End lights
C
  Muggy nights
    G/B                   F/A              C
The curtains drawn in the little room down stairs
F                           G
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
F                       G                   C
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
         Cm7
And it's one more beer
                     A7
And I don't hear you anymore
      C
We've all gone crazy lately
   A/C#                                G/D
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
           D
oo oo oo   oo oo oo


[Chorus]
C                      G/B          Am                      G/B
  And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear ( sugar bea -ea 
C                     G/B         Am
  You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
ear )
    G/B    C                G/B
You nearly had me roped and tied
C            A7/C#
Altar-bound, hypnotized
      G/D
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         A7
You're a butterfly
    C
And butterflies are free to fly
A7/C#     G/D       B7  C
Fly away, high away bye bye
      G/B          Am         G   F
Oo oo oo oo oo oo  oo-oo-oo

[Verse 2]
G                      C       G
  I never realized the passing hours
C
   Of evening showers
  G/B                F/A               C
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dre-eams
    F                         G
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
F               G               C
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
     Cm7
It's four o'clock in the morning
        A7
Damn it listen to me good
    C
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
A/C#  [x42020]                      G/D
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
             D
Ah ah ah ah  ah-ah-ah  ah-ah-ahhhh


[Chorus]

C                      G/B          Am                      G/B
  And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear ( sugar bea -ea 
C                     G/B         Am
  You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
ear )
    G/B    C                G/B
You nearly had me roped and tied
C            A7/C#
Altar-bound, hypnotized
      G/D
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         A7
You're a butterfly
    C
And butterflies are free to fly
A7/C#     G/D       B7  C
Fly away, high away bye bye
      G/B          Am         G   F
Oo oo oo oo oo oo  oo-oo-oo

[Bridge]
Am                                          G/B
   And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river
E11
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
            C
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Am                                      G/B
   They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
E11                               C
    Someone saved my life tonight,   someone saved my life tonight
E11                                C
    Someone saved my life tonight,    someone saved my life tonight
E11
    Someone saved my life tonight
   C                                        A7/C#       
So save your strength and run the field you play alone


[Chorus]
C                      G/B          Am                      G/B
  And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear ( sugar bea -ea 
C                     G/B         Am
  You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

Altar-bound, hypnotized
      G/D
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         A7
You're a butterfly
    C
And butterflies are free to fly
A7/C#     G/D       B7  C
Fly away, high away bye bye
      G/B          Am         F
