G
I stood at the door beside her
Cadd9
But she wouldn't let me pass
G
I was such a bore and I lied to her
Cadd9
I said I didn't really want her ass
Bm Em
I went away in the mud and rain
Bm Em
The gang became snide and laughed
Am Am/G
I was slayed but I smiled and the pain
F
Began to subside at last
Bm D
And when I got back to my hotel
Bm D
I wondered if the thunder meant I'd landed in hell
G G/F#
And on the forecourt, I slipped and fell
Em7 G/F#
I cracked my stupid head and I heard a bell
Esus4 E7 E
I thought, hey
[Chorus]
A G D
Somebody saved me, it happened again
A G D
Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend
A E/A G Bm
Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven
G
'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour
Esus4 E
I'd have wanted her forever
A G D
Somebody saved me
[Verse 2]
G
You would have thought that I'd have learned
Cadd9
Twenty years ago or more
G
A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned
Cadd9
But I didn't know what lips were for
Bm Em
I ran away in the mud and rain
Bm Em
The weather here is never too bright
Am Am/G
She'd had an affray with her man and came
F
For solace and the means to fight
Bm D
She finally bored with seducing me
Bm D
And took up with some geezer from the Ealing scene
G G/F#
It nearly killed him like it would've killed me
Em7 G/F# Esus4 E7 E
When her original man snapped his fingers and she obeyed, she obeyed
[Chorus]
A G D
Somebody saved me, it happened again
A G D
Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend
A E/A G Bm
Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven
G
'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour
Esus4 E
I'd have wanted her forever
[Bridge]
A A9 E/A
I don't know about guardian angels
A A9 E/A
All I know about's staying alive
Gmaj7 Gmaj9
I can't shout about spiritual labels
Gmaj7 Gmaj9
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 G D
Somebody saved me, it happened again
A G D
Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend
A E/A G Bm
Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven
G
'Cause if I blew it for a single moment
Esus4 E
I'd blow it forever
A G D
But somebody saves me
[Verse 3]
G
I took up the connection once
Cadd9
Made me feel quite aloof
G
I never could queue to collect my lunch
Cadd9
While I was pursuing the truth
Bm Em
So I left my folks in the mud and rain
Bm Em
It always rains in Sunnyside Road
Am Am/G
I lived hippy jokes, getting stoned insane
F
'Til the rain looked just like snow
Bm D
But there was a soul in whom I could depend
Bm D
He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed
G G/F#
I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then
Em7 G/F#
And when I finally woke up clean
Esus4 E7 E
My friend was dead, stone dead
[Outro]
A A9 G D
Somebody saved me, it happened again
A A9 G D
Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend
A E/A G D
Somebody saved me, I ain't ready for heaven
G
'Cause if I'd seen you for a second
Esus4 E
I'd have wanted to see you forever
A G G/F#
Somebody saved me
A
Somebody saved me
