| G6 | |
| I | stood at the door beside her |
| Cadd9 | |
| But | she wouldn't let me pass |
| G6 | |
| I was | such a bore and I lied to her |
| Cadd9 | |
| I said I | didn't really want her ass |
| Bm(F# | Em | |
| I | went away in the | mud and rain |
| Bm(F# | Em | |
| The | gang became snide and | laughed |
| Am | Am7/G | |
| I was slayed, but I | smiled and the pain |
| Fmaj7 | E | F | |
| Be | gan to subside | at l | ast |
| Bm | D(A | |
| And | when I got back to my | hotel |
| Bm | D(A | |
| I | wondered if the thunder meant I'd | landed in hell |
| G | G6/F#m | |
| And | on the forecourt I | slipped and fell |
| Em7 | G6/F#m | |
| I | cracked my stupid head and I | heard a bell |
| Esus4 | E7 | E | |
| I thought, | hey |
| A6 | G6 | D/A | |
| Somebody | saved me, it happened | again |
| A6 | G6 | D/A | |
| Somebody | saved me, I thank you my | frie | nd |
| A6 | E/A | G6/A | Bm/A | |
| Somebody | saved m | e, from a fate worse than | heaven |
| G6 (harm: g5 g7) |
| 'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour |
| Esus4 | E | |
| I'd have wanted her for | ever |
| G6/A | |
| Somebody | saved me |
| You would have thought that I'd have learned |
| Twenty years ago or more |
| A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned |
| But I didn't know what lips were for |
| I ran away in the mud and rain |
| The weather here is never too bright |
| She'd had an affray with her man and came |
| For solace and the means to fight |
| She finally bored with seducing me |
| And took up with some geezer from the Ealing scene |
| It nearly killed him like it would've killed me |
| When her original man snapped his fingers and she obeyed, she obeyed |
| (repeat chorus) |
| (bridge) |
| A | Aadd9 | E/A | |
| I don't know about | guardian an | gels |
| A | Aadd9 | E/A | |
| All I know about's | staying a | live |
| Gmaj7 | Gmaj9 | |
| I can't shout about | spritual labels |
| Gmaj7 | Gmaj9 | |
| When | little ones die and | big ones thrive |
| E E6.... |
| All I know is that I've been making it |
| And there've been times that I didn't deserve to |
| Every show there's been more faking it |
| But right at the point of no return |
| Somebody saves me, again and again |
| Somebody saves me, I thank you my friend |
| Somebody saves me, from a fate worse than heaven |
| 'Cause if I blew it for a single moment |
| I'd blow it forever |
| But somebody saves me |
| I took up the connection once |
| Made me feel quite aloof |
| I never could queue to collect my lunch |
| While I was pursuing the truth |
| So I left my folks in the mud and rain |
| It always rains in Sunnyside Road |
| I lived hippy jokes, getting stoned insane |
| 'Til the rain looked just like snow |
| But there was a soul in whom I could depend |
| He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed |
| I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then |
| And when I finally woke up clean |
| My friend was dead, stone dead |
| Somebody saved me, it happened again |
| Somebody saved me, I thank you my friend |
| Somebody saved me, I ain't ready for heaven |
| 'Cause if I'd seen you for a second I'd have wanted to see you forever |
| Somebody saved me |
