Someone saved my life tonight

Elton John


Tom: A

Intro: Ab Db (2x)


Verse 1:
Ab
When I think of those East End lights
Db
Muggy nights
Ab                                            Bbm
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Gb                            Ab
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Gb                        Ab               Db
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
          C#m
And it's one more beer
                      Bb7
And I don't hear you anymore
       Db
We've all gone crazy lately
    Bb7                           Ab
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
            Eb
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Db                      Ab           Bbm    Ab
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
Db                    Ab           Bbm
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
     Db      Ab
You nearly had me roped and tied
Db              Bb7
Altar-bound, hypnotized
        Ab
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
          Bbm
You're a butterfly
     Db
And butterflies are free to fly
Bb7      Ab
Fly away, high away bye bye
Db       Ab             Bbm Gb
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Intro: Ab Db (2x)

Verse 2:
Ab
I never realized the passing hours
Db
Of evening showers
   Ab                                 Bbm
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
     Gb                         Ab
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

Gb                Ab                      Db
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
C#m
It's four o'clock in the morning
          Bb7
Damn it listen to me good
Db
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Bb7                                    Ab
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
          Eb
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

Back To Chorus

Intro: Ab Db (2x)

Bridge:
Bbm                                         Ab
And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river
Cm7                         Eb
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
             Db
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Bbm                                    Ab
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Cm7                               Db
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Cm7                               Db
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Cm7
Someone saved my life tonight
Db                                            Bb7
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
