[Verse 1]
G C G
When I think of those East End lights
C
Muggy nights
G/B F/A C
The curtains drawn in the little room down stairs
F G
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
F G C
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
Cm7
And it's one more beer
A7
And I don't hear you anymore
C
We've all gone crazy lately
A/C# G/D
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
D
oo oo oo oo oo oo
[Chorus]
C G/B Am G/B
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear ( sugar bea -ea
C G/B Am
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
ear )
G/B C G/B
You nearly had me roped and tied
C A7/C#
Altar-bound, hypnotized
G/D
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
A7
You're a butterfly
C
And butterflies are free to fly
A7/C# G/D B7 C
Fly away, high away bye bye
G/B Am G F
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo-oo-oo

[Verse 2]
G C G
I never realized the passing hours
C
Of evening showers
G/B F/A C
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dre-eams
F G
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
F G C
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
Cm7
It's four o'clock in the morning
A7
Damn it listen to me good
C
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
A/C# [x42020] G/D
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
D
Ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ahhhh
[Chorus]

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear ( sugar bea -ea

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

G/B C G/B
You nearly had me roped and tied
C A7/C#
Altar-bound, hypnotized

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
A7
You're a butterfly
C
And butterflies are free to fly
A7/C# G/D B7 C
Fly away, high away bye bye

[Bridge]
Am G/B
And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river
E11
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
C
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Am G/B
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
E11 C
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
E11 C
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
E11
Someone saved my life tonight
C A7/C#
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
[Chorus]

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear ( sugar bea -ea

Anybody have a good alternative to the E11 chords? They don't sound quite right to my ear.

what's with the question marks? and the Bm7 after "roped and tied" doesn't sound quite right to me but i haven't payed super close attention to it.
