    G
I stood at the door beside her
      C
But she wouldn't let me pass
       G
I was such a bore and I lied to her
          C
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
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  
And on the forecourt, I slipped and fell
   Em7                G  
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                          G6    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

You would have thought that I would have learned
Twenty years ago or more
A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned
But I did not know what lips were for
I ran away in the mud and rain
The weather here is never too bright
She would had an affray with her man and came
For solace and the means to fight
She finally bored with seducing me
And took up with some geezer from the Eagling scene
And it nearly killed him like it would have killed me
When her original man snapped his fingers and she obeyed
She obeyed

Chorus

A
I don't know about guardian angels
All I know about's staying alive
Gmaj7
I can't shout about spiritual labels
When little ones die and big ones thrive

E
All I know is that I've been making it
And there've been times that I didn't deserve to
Every show, there's been more faking it
But right at the point of no return

Chorus

I took up the connection once
Made me feel quite aloof
I never could queue to collect my lunch
While I was pursuing the truth
I left my folks in the mud and rain
It always rained in Sunnyside Road
I lived hippie jokes getting stoned insane
'Til the rain looked just like snow
But there was a soul in whom I could depend
He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed
I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then
And when I finally woke up clean
My friend was dead, stone dead

Chorus:
But somebody saved me, it happened again
Somebody saved me, I thank you my friend
Somebody saved me, I am not ready for heaven
Cause if I would seen you for a second,
I would have wanted to see you forever
Somebody saved me
Somebody saved me
Somebody saved me
