Someone Saved My Life Tonight Elton John
"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" (Capo: 4th. fret)
_____Intro:
E/B A (2 times)
_____Verse: 1
[E/B] When I think of those [A]east end [E]lights,[A] muggy nights
The [E/G#]curtains drawn in the [D/F#]little room down[A]stairs
[D]Prima donna, lord you really [E]should have been there
[D]Sitting like a princess pe[E]rched in her ele[A]ctric chair
And it's [Am]one more beer and I don't hear you [F#]anymore
We've all[A] gone crazy lately
My [F#/A#]friends out there rollin' round the ba[E/B]sement floor. Ooh__[B7]____
_____Chorus:
[A] And someone saved my [E/G#]life tonight, [F#m7]sugar bear (sugar bea[E/G#]r___)
[A] You almost had your [E/G#]hooks in me, [F#m7]didn't you dear
You [E/G#]nearly [A]had me roped and t[E/G#]ied
[A]Altar-bound, [F#7/A#]hypnotized,
Sweet fr[E/B]eedom whispered in my ear
You're a [F#/A#]butterfly
And [A]butterflies are free to fly
[F#7/A#]Fly away, [E/B]high away, [G#]bye [A]bye
[E/G#] [F#m7] [E] [D]
_____Intro:
E/B A (2 times)
_____Verse: 2
[E/B] I never realized the [A]passing h[E]ours[A] of evening showers,
A [E/G#]slip noose hanging [D/F#]in my darkest dr[A]eams
I'm [D]strangled by your haunted s[E]ocial scene
[D]Just a pawn out-played b[E]y a dominating[A] queen
It's [Am]four o'clock in the morning
Damn it! [F#]Listen to me good
I'm [A]sleeping with myself tonight
[F#/A#]Saved in time, thank God my music's st[E/B]ill alive, Oh___[B7]_____
_____Chorus:
[A] And someone saved my [E/G#]life tonight, [F#m7]sugar bear (sugar bear, sugar bea[E/G#]r___)
[A] You almost had your [E/G#]hooks in me, [F#m7]didn't you dear
You [E/G#]nearly [A]had me roped and t[E/G#]ied
[A]Altar-bound, [F#7/A#]hypnotized,
Sweet fr[E/B]eedom whispered in my ear
You're a [F#/A#]butterfly
And [A]butterflies are free to fly
[F#7/A#]Fly away, [E/B]high away, [G#]bye [A]bye
[E/G#] [F#m7] [E] [D]
_____Intro:
E/B A (2 times)
_____Bridge:
[F#7] And I would have walked head on into the [E/G#]deep end of the river
[C#m/G#]Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your [A/E]H.P. demands forever
[F#m7] They're coming in the morning with a tr[E/G#]uck to take me home
[C#m/G#] Someone saved my life tonight[A/E], someone saved my life tonight
[C#m/G#] Someone saved my life tonight[A/E], someone saved my life tonight
[C#m/G#] Someone saved my life tonight
So [A/E]save your strength and run the field you [F#7]play alone
_____Chorus:
[A] And someone saved my [E/G#]life tonight, [F#m7]sugar bear (sugar bear, sugar bea[E/G#]r___)
[A] You almost had your [E/G#]hooks in me, [F#m7]didn't you dear
You [E/G#]nearly [A]had me roped and t[E/G#]ied
[A]Altar-bound, [F#7/A#]hypnotized,
Sweet fr[E/B]eedom whispered in my ear
You're a [F#/A#]butterfly
And [A]butterflies are free to fly
[F#7/A#]Fly away, [E/B]high away, [G#]bye [A]bye
[E/G#] [F#m7] [E] [D]
