[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] When I think of [Db] those East [Ab] End [Db] lights, muggy nights, [Ab] the curtains drawn [Gb] in the little room [Db] downstairs.
[Ebm] Free Madonna, Lord, you [Ab] really should have been there, [Ebm] sitting like a princess [Ab] perched in her [Db] electric chair.
And [Dbm] this one more beer, and I don't hear you [Bb] anymore.
[Db] We've all gone completely, [Bb] my friends out there, rolling round [Ab] the basement floor.
[Eb]
And [Db] someone [Ab] saved my life tonight, [Bbm] Sugar Baby.
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] Me, [Bbm] didn't you dear?
[Ab] You [Db] nearly had me roped [Ab] and tied.
[Db]
[Bb] Hypnotized [Ab] with freedom, whispered in my ear.
[Fm] You're a butterfly, [Db] and a butterfly, butterfly.
[Bb]
[Ab] Fly away, [C] [Db] butterfly.
[Ab] [Bbm] [Db] [Gb]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
I [Ab] never [Db] realized the [Ab] passing [Db] hours of evening [Ab] showers,
sick news [Gb] hanging in my [Db] darkest dreams.
[Ebm] And spring fire [Ab] on the social scene, [Ebm] just a [Ab] pawn I played by a [Db] dominating queen.
It's [Dbm] four o'clock in the [Db] morning, [Bb] damn it, listen to me, ghouls.
[Db] I'm sleeping with my [Bb] safe in contact, all my music [Ab] still alive.
[Eb] [Db] And someone saved [Ab] my life tonight, [Bbm] Sugar Baby.
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
Me, [Bbm] didn't you dear?
[Ab] You [Db] nearly had me roped [Ab] and tied.
[Db] [Bb] Hypnotized [Ab] with freedom, whispered in my ear.
[Fm] You're a butterfly, [Db]
and a [Bb] butterfly, fly away, [Ab] fly away.
[C] [Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Db] [Gb] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Bbm] And I would've walked head on into [Ab] the deep end of a river,
[Cm] clinging to your stocks and bonds, paying [Db] your eight speedy miles forever.
[Bbm] You're coming in a [Ab] truck to take me home.
[Eb] Someone saved my [Db] [Eb] [Fm]
[Eb] [Db] [Eb] life tonight.
[Db] Go save yourself, you [Bb] playa.
[Fm] [Db] And someone saved [Ab] my life tonight, [Bbm] Sugar Baby.
[Ab] [Db] [Fm] Me, [Bbm] didn't you dear?
[Ab] You [Db] nearly had me roped [Ab] and tied.
[Db]
[Bb] Hypnotized [Ab] with freedom, whispered in my ear.
[Fm] You're a butterfly, [Db] and a butterfly, breathe a fly, [Bb] fly away, [Ab] fly away.
And [Cm] [Db] someone
[Ab] [Bbm] [Gb]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] saved my life
[Ab] [Db] tonight.
