[Verse]
                      Db       Ebsus4 Db             
When I think of those East End lights ■  muggy nights
    Ab                    Gb          Db        
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Eb                          Ab                
Prima Donna Lord you really shoulda been there
Eb                      Ab             Db            
Sittin' like a princess perched in her electric chair
Db                    
And it's one more beer
            Db              
And I don't hear you anymore


[Chorus]
Db                         
We've all gone crazy lately
Bb                                       Ab       Eb   
My friend's out there rollin' 'round the basement floor


[Verse]
Db                   Ab           Bbm       
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
Ab  Db              Ab       Abmaj7 Bbm            
You almost had your hooks in me     didn't you dear
Ab         Dbmaj7           Cm7  Abmaj7
You nearly had me roped and tied ■     


[Chorus]
Db         Bb               Ab                         
Altarbound hypnotized sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         Ab       
You're a butterfly
Db                             
And butterflies are free to fly
Dm  Bb   Ab        C7    
Fly away high away byebye

[Verse]
Ebsus4                       Db                      
I never realized the passin' hours of evening showers
Ab                   Gb            Db    
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
                              Ab          
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Gb     Eb   Ab        Ab7  Db              
Just a pawn outplayed by a dominating queen
     Db                         
It's four o'clock in the morning
               Bb7       
Damn it listen to me good
Db                              
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Bb                                 Ab          Eb
Saved in time thank God my music's still alive ■ 


[Chorus]
Db                   Ab           Bbm        Ab
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear ■ 
Db                  Ab          Bbm            
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
           Db               Ab  
You nearly had me roped and tied
Db         Bb               Ab                         
Altarbound hypnotized sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         Ab       
You're a butterfly
Db                             
And butterflies are free to fly
Dm       Bb Ab   Ebsus4 Ab C7 Db Cm Bbm       
Fly away ■  high away   ■  ■  ■  ■  ■   byebye

[Verse]
                                       Ab                   
And I would've walked head on into the deep end of the river
Fsus4                            
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
            Db                
Paying your HP demands forever
Bbm                                  Ab       Abmaj7  Ab   Cm
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home ■ 


[Chorus]
Fsus4                              
■     Someone saved my life tonight
Db                              
■  Someone saved my life tonight
Fsus4

■  Someone saved my life tonight
Eb                  Fsus4       
■  Someone saved my life tonight
Db                                          Bb        
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
Db                      Ab           Bbm       
■  And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
Ab Db                  Ab       Bbm               
■  You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
Cm         Db               Ab  
You nearly had me roped and tied
Db         Bb               Ab                         
Altarbound hypnotized sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         Fm       
You're a butterfly
Db                             
And butterflies are free to fly
