Somebody Saved Me chords and lyrics - PETE TOWNSHEND

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[F]I stood at the door beside her
But [Bb]she wouldn't let me pass
I was such [F]a bore, and I lied to her
I said I [Bb]did n't really want her ass
I [F]went away in the mud [Dm]and rain
The [Em]gang became [Am]snide and [Dm]laughed
[Gm]I was slain, but I smiled an[F]d the pain
Began [Eb]to subside at last

[Verse 2]
And [Am]when I got back to my [G]hotel
I [Am]wondered if the thunder
meant I'd [G]landed in Hell
And [F]on the forecourt I [C]slipped and fell
I [Dm]cracked my stupid head and I heard [C]a bell
I thought, [Gsus4]hey[G][D]

[Verse 3]
Somebody [G]saved me - it
happened [Gsus4]again
Some[G]body saved me - I thank
you, my friend
Somebody saved me from a fate
worse than [Gsus4]Heaven
[G]'Cause if I'd had[F] her for just an hour
I'd have wanted her [D]forever
Somebody [Gsus4]saved me[G]

[Verse 4]
[F]You would have thought
that I'd have learned
[Bb]Twenty years ago or more
A [F]beautiful girl raised her
mouth and yearned
But I didn't [Bb]know what lips were for
I [F]ran away in the mud [Dm]and rain
The [Em]weather here is never [D]too bright
She'd [Gm]had an affray with
her man [F]and came
For [Eb]solace and the means to fight

[Verse 5]
She [Am]finally bored with sedu[C]cing me
And [Am]took up with some geezer
from the [G]Ealing scene
It [F]nearly killed him like it
[C]would've killed me
When her [Dm]original man snapped his [C]fingers and [Gsus4]she obeyed,
[G]she [D]obeyed

[Verse 6]
But somebody [G]saved me - it happened
[Gsus4]again
[G]Somebody saved me - I thank
you, my [Gsus4]friend
[G]Somebody saved me from a fate
worse than [Gsus4]Heaven
'Cause if I'd [F]had her for just an hour
I'd have wanted her [D]forever

[Verse 7]
[G]I don't know about guardia[Gsus4]n angels
[G]All I know about's staying alive
[F]I can't shout about spiritual label[G]s
When little [F]ones die and big ones [Dm]thrive

[Verse 8]
[D]All I know is that I've
been making it
And there've been [G]times that
I didn't deserve [D]to
Every [Dm]show there's [D]been
more [Dm]faking it
But right at the point of no return

[Verse 9]
Somebody [G]saves me again
[Gsus4]and again
[G]Somebody saves me - I thank
you, my [Gsus4]friend
Some[G]body saves me from a fate
worse than [Gsus4]Heaven
[G]'Cause if I [F]blew it for a single moment
I'd blow [D]it forever
But somebody [G]saves [Gsus4]me[G]

[Verse 10]
[F]I took up the connection once
[Bb]Made me feel quite aloof
I [F]never could queue to collect my lunch
While [Bb]I was pursuing the truth
So I left [Am]my folks in the mu[Dm]d and rain
[D]It alway[Em]s rains in [Am]Sunnyside Roa[D]d
I [G]lived hippy [Gm]jokes, getting [F]stoned insane
Till the [Eb]rain looked just like snow

[Verse 11]
But [Am]there was a soul in whom [G]I could depend
[C]He wor[Am]ked himself crazy
while I [G]laid in bed
I never [F]leaned on a person
like I [Em]leaned right then
[C]And when I fi [Dm]nally woke up clean
[C]My friend was[Gsus4] dead,
[G]stone [D]dead

[Verse 12]
Somebody [G]saved me - it
happened [Gsus4]again
[G]Somebody saved me - I thank
you, my [Gsus4]friend
[G]Somebody saved me - I ain't
ready for [Gsus4]Heaven
'Cause if I'd [F]seen you for a second,
I'd have wanted to see [D]you forever
Somebody [G]saved [Gsus4]me[G][Gsus4]
[G][Gsus4]
[G][Gsus4]
[G]Somebody saved me
