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/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 G6/A Bm/A 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  D  E  Em  Esus4  E7  Em7  F  F#  G  Gm  G Gmaj7  Gmaj  G6  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
