_____Verse: 1

E/B                    A        E      A When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights 
     E/G#                  D/F#            A The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs 
 D                            E Prima donna, lord you really should have been there 
 D                         E               A Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair 
          Am                                 F# And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore 
          A We've all gone crazy lately 
    F#/A#                                 E/B                B7 My friends out there rollin' round the basement floor. Ooh______

_____Chorus:

A                     E/G#          F#m7                 E/G# And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (sugar bear___)
A                    E/G#         F#m7 You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear 
     E/G#   A                 E/G# You nearly had me roped and tied 
 A            F#7/A# Altar-bound, hypnotized, 
         E/B Sweet freedom whispered in my ear 
          F#/A# You're a butterfly 
     A And butterflies are free to fly 
 F#7/A#    E/B        G#  A   Fly away, high away, bye bye
 E/G#  F#m7  E  D

E/B                   A        E   A I never realized the passing hours of evening showers, 
   E/G#               D/F#            A A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams 
     D                          E I'm strangled by your haunted social scene 
 D                       E             A Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen 
      Am It's four o'clock in the morning 
          F# Damn it! Listen to me good 
     A I'm sleeping with myself tonight 
 F#/A#                                 E/B             B7 Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive, Oh________
