[Intro]
| G6 | % |
[Verse 1]
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 Em9/B Cmaj7/E I went away in the mud and rain Em9/F# Cmaj7/E The gang became snide and laughed Amadd9 Amadd9/G I was slayed but I smiled and the pain Amadd9/F Began to subside at last
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Bm7/A And when I got back to my hotel Bm7 Bm7/A I wondered if the thunder meant I'd landed in hell G Dsus2/F# And on the forecourt, I slipped and fell Em7 Dsus2/F# I cracked my stupid head and I heard a bell A7sus4 | Esus4 E | I thought, hey
[Chorus]
A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, it happened again A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven G6 'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour Esus4 E I'd have wanted her forever | G6/A | % | Somebody saved me
[Verse 2]
G6 You would have thought that I'd have learned Cadd9 Twenty years ago or more G6 A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned Cadd9 But I didn't know what lips were for Em9/B Cmaj7/E I ran away in the mud and rain Em9/F# Cmaj7/E The weather here is never too bright Amadd9 Amadd9/G She'd had an affray with her man and came Amadd9/F For solace and the means to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Bm7/A She finally bored with seducing me Bm7 Bm7/A And took up with some geezer from the Ealing scene G Dsus2/F# It nearly killed him like it would've killed me Em7 Dsus2/F# When her original man snapped his fingers A7sus4 | Esus4 E | And she obeyed, she obeyed
[Chorus]
A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, it happened again A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven G6 'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour Esus4 E I'd have wanted her forever
[Middle 8]
A E/A I don't know about guardian angels A E/A All I know about's staying alive Gmaj9 Gmaj13 I can't shout about spiritual labels Gmaj9 Gmaj13 When little ones die and big ones thrive E All I know is that I've been making it E And there've been times that I didn't deserve to E Every show, there's been more faking it E But right at the point of no return
[Chorus]
A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, it happened again A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven G6 'Cause if I blew it for a single moment Esus4 E I'd blow it forever | G6/A | % | But somebody saves me
[Verse 3]
G6 I took up the connection once Cadd9 Made me feel quite aloof G6 I never could queue to collect my lunch Cadd9 While I was pursuing the truth Em9/B Cmaj7/E So I left my folks in the mud and rain Em9/F# Cmaj7/E It always rains in Sunnyside Road Amadd9 Amadd9/G I lived hippy jokes, getting stoned insane Amadd9/F 'Til the rain looked just like snow
[Pre-chorus]
Bm7 Bm7/A But there was a soul in whom I could depend Bm7 Bm7/A He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed G Dsus2/F# I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then Em7 Dsus2/F# And when I finally woke up clean A7sus4 | Esus4 E | My friend was dead, stone dead
[Chorus]
A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, it happened again A A6 D/A Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, I ain't ready for heaven G6 'Cause if I'd seen you for a second Esus4 E I'd have wanted to see you forever ...
