Lyrics

When I think of those (C)east end (G)lights,

mug gy nights, the (G)cur tains drawn in the (F)lit tle room down (C)stairs,

(F)pri ma don na, Lord, you real ly (G)should have been there,

(F)sit ting like a prin cess (G)perched in her e (C)lec tric chair.

And it’s (Cm)one more beer, and I don’t hear you (A)an y more.

We’ve (C)all gone cra zy late ly, my (A)friends out there roll in’ ’round

the (G)base ment floor.

And some one saved my (G)life to night,

(Am)sug ar bear.

You al most had your (G)hooks in me,

(Am)did n’t you dear?

You near ly (C)had me roped and (G)tied,

(C)al tar bound,

(A7)hyp no tized,

sweet (G)free dom whis pered in my ear.

You’re a (A)but ter fly,

and (C)but ter flies

are free to fly.

(A7)Fly a way,

(G)high a way,

(B)bye,

(C)bye.

When I think of those (C)east end (G)lights,

mug gy nights, the (G)cur tains drawn in the (F)lit tle room down (C)stairs,

(F)pri ma don na, Lord, you real ly (G)should have been there,

(F)sit ting like a prin cess (G)perched in her e (C)lec tric chair.

And it’s (Cm)one more beer, and I don’t hear you (A)an y more.

We’ve (C)all gone cra zy late ly,

my (A)friends out there

roll in’ ’round the (G)base ment floor.

And some one saved my (G)life to night,

(Am)sug ar bear.

You al most had your (G)hooks in me,

(Am)did n’t you dear?

You near ly (C)had me roped and (G)tied,

(C)al tar bound,

(A7)hyp no tized,

sweet (G)free dom whis pered in my ear.

You’re a (A)but ter fly,

and (C)but ter flies

are free to fly.

(A7)Fly a way,

(G)high a way,

(B)bye,

(C)bye.

And I would have walked head on in to the (G)deep end of a riv er,

(Em)cling ing to your stocks and bonds, pay ing your (C)H.

P.

de mands for ev er.

They’re com ing in the morn ing with a (G)truck to take me (G)home.

Some one saved my life to night,

some one saved my life to night,

some one saved my life to night,

some one saved my life to night,

some one saved my life to night.

So (C)save your strength and run the field you (A7)play a lone.

Some one saved, some one (G)saved, some one saved my (C)life to night.

Some one saved, some one (G)saved, some one saved my (C)life to night.
