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 Somebody saves me, again and again Somebody saves me, I thank you my friend Somebody saves me, from a fate worse than heaven 'Cause if I blew it for a single moment I'd blow it forever But somebody saves me 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 So I left my folks in the mud and rain It always rains in Sunnyside Road I lived hippy 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 Somebody saved me, it happened again Somebody saved me, I thank you my friend Somebody saved me, I ain't ready for heaven 'Cause if I'd seen you for a second I'd have wanted to see you forever Somebody saved me ||: A(v) E(iv) E(iv) E(iv no3rd) | G(iii) D/A D/A D/A(no3rd) :|| Bm/D Somebody saved me ============= litgo@aol.com
