_____Intro:
E/B A (2 times)
_____Verse: 1
E/B A E A
When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights
E/G# D/F# A
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
D E
Prima donna, lord you really should have been there
D E A
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
Am F#
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
A
We've all gone crazy lately
F#/A# E/B B7
My friends out there rollin' round the basement floor. Ooh______
_____Chorus:
A E/G# F#m7 E/G#
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (sugar bear___)
A E/G# F#m7
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear
E/G# A E/G#
You nearly had me roped and tied
A F#7/A#
Altar-bound, hypnotized,
E/B
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
F#/A#
You're a butterfly
A
And butterflies are free to fly
F#7/A# E/B G# A
Fly away, high away, bye bye
E/G# F#m7 E D

_____Verse: 2
E/B A E A
I never realized the passing hours of evening showers,
E/G# D/F# A
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
D E
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
D E A
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
Am
It's four o'clock in the morning
F#
Damn it! Listen to me good
A
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
F#/A# E/B B7
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive, Oh________

F#7 E/G#
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
C#m/G#
Clinging to your stocks and bonds

Paying your H.P. demands forever

They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
