Intro:

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 ...
