G6I stood at the door beside her But Cadd9she wouldn't let me pass I was G6such a bore and I lied to her I said I Cadd9didn't really want her ass I Em9/Bwent away in the Cmaj7/Emud and rain The Em9/F#gang became snide and Cmaj7/Elaughed Amadd9 Amadd9/G I was slayed but I smiled and the pain Amadd9/F Began to subside at last
[Pre-Chorus]
And Bm7when I got back to Bm7/Amy hotel I Bm7wondered if the thunder meant I'd Bm7/Alanded in hell And Gon the forecourt, I Dsus2/F#slipped and fell I Em7cracked my stupid head and I Dsus2/F#heard a bell A7sus4 | Esus4 E | I thought, hey
[Chorus]
Somebody Asaved me,A6 it happened aD/Again Somebody Asaved me,A6 I thank you, my D/Afriend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven 'Cause if I'd G6had her for just an hour I'd have wanted her Esus4forever E | G6/A | % | Somebody saved me
[Verse 2]
G6 You would have thought that I'd have learned Cadd9Twenty years ago or more A G6beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned But I Cadd9didn't know what lips were for I Em9/Bran away in the Cmaj7/Emud and rain The Em9/F#weather here is never too Cmaj7/Ebright Amadd9 Amadd9/G She'd had an affray with her man and came Amadd9/F For solace and the means to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
She Bm7finally bored with Bm7/Aseducing me And Bm7took up with some geezer from the Bm7/AEaling scene It nGearly killed him likDsus2/F#e it would've killed me WhEm7en her original man snapped hDsus2/F#is fingers A7sus4 | Esus4 E | And she obeyed, she obeyed
[Chorus]
Somebody Asaved me,A6 it happened aD/Again Somebody Asaved me,A6 I thank you, my D/Afriend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven 'Cause if I'd G6had her for just an hour I'd have wanted her Esus4forever E
[Middle 8]
AI don't know about E/Aguardian angels AAll I know about's E/Astaying alive Gmaj9 I can't shout about Gmaj13spiritual labels When Gmaj9little ones die and Gmaj13big ones thrive
EAll I know is that I've been making it And Ethere've been times that I didn't deserve to EEvery show, there's been more faking it EBut right at the point of no return
[Chorus]
Somebody Asaved me,A6 it happened aD/Again Somebody Asaved me,A6 I thank you, my D/Afriend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven 'Cause if I G6blew it for a single moment I'd blow it forEsus4ever E | G6/A | % | But somebody saves me
[Verse 3]
G6 I took up the connection once Cadd9Made me feel quite aloof I G6never could queue to collect my lunch While Cadd9I was pursuing the truth So I Em9/Bleft my folks in the Cmaj7/Emud and rain It always Em9/F#rains in Sunnyside Cmaj7/ERoad Amadd9 Amadd9/G I lived hippy jokes, getting stoned insane Amadd9/F 'Til the rain looked just like snow
[Pre-chorus]
But Bm7there was a soul inBm7/A whom I could depend He wBm7orked himself crazyBm7/A while I laid in bed I never Gleaned on a person like I Dsus2/F#leaned right then And when I Em7finally woke up Dsus2/F#clean A7sus4 | Esus4 E | My friend was dead, stone dead
[Chorus]
Somebody Asaved me,A6 it happened aD/Again Somebody Asaved me,A6 I thank you, my D/Afriend A E/A G/A D/A* Somebody saved me, I ain't ready for heaven 'Cause if I'd G6seen you for a second I'd have wanted to see you forEsus4ever ... E
