[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][Em][Bm][D][Em]
[C][D]

[Verse 1]
When I think [D]of those
east end [G]lights, muggy nights
The [F#m]curtains drawn in the [Em]little
room downstair[G]s
[C]Prima donna, lord,
you really [D]should have been there
[C]Sitting like a princess [D]perched
in her elec[G]tric chair
And it's one more beer
And I don't hear you anymore
We've [G]all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling
round the base[D]ment floor

[Verse 2]
[G]And someone saved my [D]life
tonight [Em]sug ar bear
[D]You alm[G]ost had your hooks i[D]n me,
[Em]didn't you dear
You nearly [G]had me roped [D]and tied
[G]Altar- bound, hypnotized
Sweet [D]freedom whispered in my ear
You're a [E]butterfly
And [G]butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, [D]high away,
[F#]bye [Bm]bye[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Bm][D][Em][C]

[Verse 3]
[D]I never realized the passing hours
Of [G]evening showers
A [D]slip noose [F#]hanging,
[C]in my darkest [Em]dreams
I'm [C]strangled by your
haunted so[D]cial scene
Just a [C]pawn out- played [D]by
a dominat[G]ing queen
It's [Gm]four o'clock in the morning
[Gdim]Damn it! Listen to me good
I'm [G]sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time,
thank god my music's still [D]alive[G]

[Verse 4]
And someone saved my [D]life tonight,
[Em]sugar bear
[D]You alm[G]ost had your hooks i[D]n me,
[Em]didn't you dear
You nearly [G]had me roped [D]and tied
[G]Altar- bound, hypnotized
Sweet [D]freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And [G]butterflies are free to fly
[E]Fly away, [D]high away [F#]bye [Bm]bye
[G][D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 5]
And I would have walked head on [Em]into
the deep end the [D]river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying you demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a
truck to [Bm]take [D]me home
Someone saved my life tonight,
someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight,
someone saved my life [Bm]tonight
So [F#]save your strength and run
the field [Bm]you play [D]alone

[Verse 6]
[G]And someone saved my [D]life tonight,
[Em]sugar [D]bear
You [G]almost had your hook[D]s in me,
[Em]didn't you dear
You nearly [G]had me roped [D]and tied
[Bm]Altar- [G]bound, [C#m]hypnotized
[D]Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
[F#]And butt[G]erflies are free to fly
Fly away, [D]high away,
[F#]bye [D]bye[Em][D]

[Interlude 3]

[Verse 7]
Someone [D]saved, [G]som[D]eone saved,
someone saved [G]my life to[D]night
