Standard (EADGBE)

2x

When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights

Curtains drawn in the little room downstairs

Prima Donna Lord you really should have been there

Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair

 And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore

 We've all gone crazy lately

 My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

 ooooooooo

 And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

 You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

You nearly had me roped and tied

Altar bound, hypnotized

 Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

 You're a butterfly

 And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away, high away, bye bye

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

2x

Never realised the passing hours of evening showers

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

 Ah ah ah ah ah ah

 And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

 You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

You nearly had me roped and tied

Altar bound, hypnotized

 Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

 You're a butterfly

 And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away, high away, bye bye

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

2x

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river

Clinging to your stocks and bonds

Paying your H.P. demands forever

Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home

Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight

Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight

Someone saved my life tonight

 So save your strength and run the field you play alone

 And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

 You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear

You nearly had me roped and tied

Altar bound, hypnotized

 Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

 You're a butterfly

 And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away, high away, bye bye

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved, my life tonight 7x
