Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I stood at the door beside her
[C]But she wouldn't let me pass
I [G]was such a boor and I lied to her
I said I did[C]n't really want her ass
I [F#m]went a[G]way i[C]n the mud and rain
[Em]The [F#m]gang became snid[G]e and laug[Em]hed
[Am]I was slayed but I[A] smiled and [G]the pain
[F]Began to subside at last

[Verse 2]
And [Bm]when I got back [D]to my hotel
[Bm]I wondered if the thunder
meant I'd [A]landed [Asus4]in hell
And [G]on the forecourt I [D]slipped and fell
[Em]I cracked my stu[E]pid head
and I [F#m]heard [D]a bell
[Esus4]I thought "Hey!"
[E]

[Verse 3]
Somebody [A]saved me,
it happened [Asus4]again[A]
Somebody saved me,
I thank you my [Asus4]friend[A]
Somebody saved me,
from a fate worse than [Asus4]heaven
'Cause if I'd [G]had her for just an hour
I'd have wanted her forever
[E][Esus4][E]
[A]Somebody [Asus4]saved me

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

[Verse 5]
She [Bm]fi nally bored with
sedu[Asus4]cing me[D]
[Asus4]And took up w[Bm]ith some geezer
from the [Asus4]Ealing scene
And it [G]nearly killed him like it
[D]would've killed me
When her ori[Em]ginal man snapped his
[D]fingers and she [Esus4]obeyed
She obeyed
[E]

[Verse 6]
Somebody [A]saved me,
it happened [Asus4]again[D][A]
Some[Asus4]body save[A]d me,
I thank you my [Asus4]friend[A]
[G]Somebody [A]saved me,
from a fate worse than heaven
[Asus4]'Cause if I'd had[G]
her for just an hour
I'd have wanted her [E]forever
Somebody [A]saved me, [Asus4]yeah
[G]Some[A]body [D]sav[A]ed me
[E][A][Asus4][G]

[Verse 7]
[A]I don't know a[Asus4]bout guardian angels
[D]All I k[Asus4]now about's staying alive
[G]I can't shout about spiritual la [A]bel[G]s
When little ones die and big ones thrive
[E]All I know is tha[Em]t I'v[A]e bee[Em]n making it
[E]There've been times I[A]
[Em]didn't [E]deserve to
Every show there's been [Em]more faking it
But [E]right at the [Em]point of no return

[Verse 8]
Somebody [A]saves me,
and it happened [Asus4]again[D][A]
[D]Somebody [A]saves me,
and I thank you [D]my [A]friend[D][A]
Somebody saves me,
from a fate worse [D]than [Asus4]heaven
'Cause [A]if [G]I blew it for a single moment
I'd blow it [Esus4]forever[E]
But somebody [Em]saves [Asus4]me
[D]

[Verse 9]
[G]I took up the connection once
[C]Made me feel quite aloof
[G]I never could queue to collect my lunch
While [C]I was pursuing the truth
[D]I left my [G]folks in the [Em]mud and rain
It always [D]rained in Sunnyside [Em]Road
I [A]lived hippie jokes getting
stone[G]d insane
'Til [F]the rain looked just like snow
[Bm]But there was a soul in
whom I [A]could de[D]pend
He [Bm]worked himself crazy
while I [A]laid in bed
I never [G]leaned on a person like
[D]I leaned right then
And when I fi[E]nally woke [Em]up clean[D]
My friend was [Esus4]dead, sto[E]ne dead

[Verse 10]
[E]
But somebody [A]saved me,
it [D]happened [A]again[Asus4][D][A]
[D]Somebody [A]saved me,
I thank you my [D]friend
[A]Som[G]ebody sav[A]ed me,
I ain't ready for [Asus4]heaven
'Cause if I'd [G]seen you for a second,
I'd have wanted to see you [E]forever[Esus4][E]
Somebody [A]saved [E]me[A][G][Asus4]
Some[Asus4]body save[A]d
[G]me[Asus4]
Somebody saved me
