[Verse 1]
G I stood at the door beside her Cadd9 But she wouldn't let me pass G I was such a bore and I lied to her Cadd9 I said I didn't really want her ass Bm Em I went away in the mud and rain Bm Em The gang became snide and laughed Am Am/G I was slayed but I smiled and the pain F Began to subside at last Bm D And when I got back to my hotel Bm D I wondered if the thunder meant I'd landed in hell G G/F# And on the forecourt, I slipped and fell Em7 G/F# I cracked my stupid head and I heard a bell Esus4 E7 E I thought, hey
[Chorus]
A G D Somebody saved me, it happened again A G D Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G Bm Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven G 'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour Esus4 E I'd have wanted her forever A G D Somebody saved me
[Verse 2]
G You would have thought that I'd have learned Cadd9 Twenty years ago or more G A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned Cadd9 But I didn't know what lips were for Bm Em I ran away in the mud and rain Bm Em The weather here is never too bright Am Am/G She'd had an affray with her man and came F For solace and the means to fight Bm D She finally bored with seducing me Bm D And took up with some geezer from the Ealing scene G G/F# It nearly killed him like it would've killed me Em7 G/F# Esus4 E7 E When her original man snapped his fingers and she obeyed, she obeyed
[Chorus]
A G D Somebody saved me, it happened again A G D Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G Bm Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven G 'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour Esus4 E I'd have wanted her forever
[Bridge]
A A9 E/A I don't know about guardian angels A A9 E/A All I know about's staying alive Gmaj7 Gmaj9 I can't shout about spiritual labels Gmaj7 Gmaj9 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 G D Somebody saved me, it happened again A G D Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G Bm Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven G 'Cause if I blew it for a single moment Esus4 E I'd blow it forever A G D But somebody saves me
[Verse 3]
G I took up the connection once Cadd9 Made me feel quite aloof G I never could queue to collect my lunch Cadd9 While I was pursuing the truth Bm Em So I left my folks in the mud and rain Bm Em It always rains in Sunnyside Road Am Am/G I lived hippy jokes, getting stoned insane F 'Til the rain looked just like snow Bm D But there was a soul in whom I could depend Bm D He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed G G/F# I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then Em7 G/F# And when I finally woke up clean Esus4 E7 E My friend was dead, stone dead
[Outro]
A A9 G D Somebody saved me, it happened again A A9 G D Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend A E/A G D Somebody saved me, I ain't ready for heaven G 'Cause if I'd seen you for a second Esus4 E I'd have wanted to see you forever A G G/F# Somebody saved me A Somebody saved me
