Ab/EbWhen I think of those EastDb/Eb End Ab/Eblights, Dbmuggy nights

The Ab/Ccurtains drawn in the Gb/Bblittle room doDb/Abwnstairs

GbPrima Donna lord you really Abshould have been there

GbSitting like a princess Abperched in her Dbelectric chair

And it'sDbm one more beer and I don't hear you Bb7anymore

We'veDb all gone crazy lately

My Bb/Dfriends out there rolling round the basementAb/Eb floor Eb

DbAnd someone saved my Ab/Clife tonight Bbmsugar bear Ab/C

DbYou almost had your Ab/Chooks in me Bbmdidn't you dear

You Ab/Cnearly Dbmaj7had me roped and Ab/Ctied

DbAltar-bound, Bb/Dhypnotized

Sweet Ab/Ebfreedom whispered in my ear

You're a Bb7/Fbutterfly

And Dbbutterflies are free to fly

I never realized the passing hours of evening showers

A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen

It's four o'clock in the morning

Damn it listen to me good

I'm sleeping with myself tonight

Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

BbmAnd I would have walked head on into the Ab/Cdeep end of the river

Fm7Clinging to your stocks and bonds

Paying your Db/AbH.P. demands forever

BbmThey're coming in the morning with a Ab/Ctruck to take me home

Fm7Someone saved my life tonight, Db/Absomeone saved my life tonight

Fm7Someone saved my life tonight

So Db/Absave your strength and run the field you Bb7play alone

I think the Fm7 in the bridge should actually be an Eb/F.

Elton due to issues with his voice, now performs it in Key of F
