_____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#/Bb                                 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/Bb
 Altar-bound, hypnotized,
         E/B
 Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
          F#/Bb
 You're a butterfly
     A
 And butterflies are free to fly
 F#7/Bb    E/B        Ab  A
 Fly away, high away, bye bye
 E/G#  F#m7  E  D

_____Intro:

E/B  A  (2 times)

_____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#/Bb                                 E/B             B7
 Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive, Oh________

_____Chorus:

A                     E/G#          F#m7                             E/G#
 And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (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/Bb
 Altar-bound, hypnotized,
         E/B
 Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
          F#/Bb
 You're a butterfly
     A
 And butterflies are free to fly
 F#7/Bb    E/B        Ab  A
 Fly away, high away, bye bye
 E/G#  F#m7  E  D

E/B  A  (2 times)

_____Bridge:

F#7                                       E/G#
 And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
 C#m/Ab
 Clinging to your stocks and bonds
             A/E
 Paying your H.P. demands forever
F#m7                                    E/G#
 They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
C#m/Ab                        A/E
 Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
C#m/Ab                        A/E
 Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
C#m/Ab
 Someone saved my life tonight
    A/E                                      F#7
 So save your strength and run the field you play alone

_____Chorus:

A                     E/G#          F#m7                             E/G#
 And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (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/Bb
 Altar-bound, hypnotized,
         E/B
 Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
          F#/Bb
 You're a butterfly
     A
 And butterflies are free to fly
 F#7/Bb    E/B        Ab  A
 Fly away, high away, bye bye
 E/G#  F#m7  E  D
