Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight: chords

G#                     C#         G#
When I think of those East End lights
C#
Muggy nights
    G#/C                  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
         C#m7
And it's one more beer
                     A#7
And I don't hear you anymore
      C#
We've all gone crazy lately
   A#/D                                G#/D#
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
         D#
oo oo oo oo oo oo

Chorus:
C#                    G#/C          A#m
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
             G#/C
(sugar bea -ea
C#                  G#/C         A#m
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
ear )
    G#/C    C#               G#/C
You nearly had me roped and tied
C#            A#7/D
Altar-bound, hypnotized
      G#/D#
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
         A#7
You're a butterfly
    C#
And butterflies are free to fly
A#7/D     G#/D#     C7  C#
Fly away, high away bye bye
      G#/C         A#m    G# F#
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo-oo-oo

I never realized the passin' hours of evening showers
A slip noose hangin' in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning, damn it! Listen to me good
I'm sleepin' with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
(Oh!)

Chorus:
Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
(Sugar bear, sugar bear)
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you, dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly, and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye-bye (Ooh)

A#m                                       G#/C
And I would have walked head on into the deep end the river
F
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
            C#
Paying your B.P. demands forever
A#m                                   G#/C
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
F                             C#
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
F                             C#
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
F
Someone saved my life tonight
   C#                                        A#7/D
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

Chorus:
Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
(Sugar bear, sugar bear, sugar bear)
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you, dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly, and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye-bye

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
