    • Verse 1
    I 
    stood 
    at the door 
    beside 
    her 

    But 
    she wouldn't 
    let 
    me pass 

    I was such 
    a 
    bore, 
    and 
    I lied 
    to 
    her 

    I said 
    I 
    did
    n't 
    really 
    want 
    her ass 

    I 
    went away 
    in the mud 
    and rain 

    The 
    gang became 
    snide 
    and 
    laughed 

    I 
    was slain, 
    but 
    I smiled 
    and 
    the pain 

    Began 
    to 
    subside 
    at last 

    Verse 2
    And 
    when 
    I got 
    back 
    to my 
    hotel 

    I 
    wondered 
    if the 
    thunder 

    meant I'd 
    landed 
    in Hell 

    And 
    on the 
    forecourt 
    I 
    slipped 
    and fell 

    I 
    cracked 
    my stupid 
    head 
    and I heard 
    a bell 

    I 
    thought, 
    hey 

    Verse 3
    Somebody 
    saved 
    me 
    - it 

    happened 
    again 

    Some
    body 
    saved 
    me 
    - I thank 

    you, my 
    friend 

    Somebody 
    saved 
    me 
    from 
    a fate 

    worse 
    than 
    Heaven 

    'Cause if I'd 
    had 
    her for just 
    an hour 

    I'd 
    have wanted 
    her 
    forever

    Somebody 
    saved 
    me 

    Verse 4
    You 
    would have 
    thought 

    that I'd 
    have 
    learned 

    Twenty 
    years ago 
    or more 

    A 
    beautiful 
    girl 
    raised 
    her 

    mouth 
    and yearned 

    But 
    I didn't 
    know 
    what lips 
    were 
    for 

    I 
    ran 
    away 
    in 
    the mud 
    and rain 

    The 
    weather 
    here is 
    never 
    too bright 

    She'd 
    had an 
    affray 
    with 

    her man 
    and came 

    For 
    solace 
    and 
    the means 
    to fight 

    Verse 5
    She 
    finally 
    bored 
    with sedu
    cing 
    me 

    And 
    took up 
    with some 
    geezer 

    from the 
    Ealing 
    scene 

    It 
    nearly 
    killed 
    him 
    like 
    it 

    would've 
    killed me 

    When her 
    original 
    man 
    snapped 
    his 
    fingers 
    and 
    she obeyed, 

    she 
    obeyed 

    Verse 6
    But 
    somebody 
    saved 
    me 
    - it happened 

    again 

    Somebody 
    saved 
    me 
    - I thank 

    you, my 
    friend 

    Somebody 
    saved 
    me 
    from 
    a fate 

    worse 
    than 
    Heaven 

    'Cause 
    if 
    I'd 
    had 
    her for just 
    an 
    hour 

    I'd 
    have wanted 
    her 
    forever

    Verse 7
    I 
    don't 
    know 
    about 
    guardi
    an 
    angels 

    All 
    I 
    know 
    about's 
    staying 
    alive 

    I can't 
    shout 
    about 
    spiritual 
    la
    bels 

    When 
    little 
    ones die 
    and big ones 
    thrive 

    Verse 8
    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 

    Verse 9
    Somebody 
    saves 
    me 
    again 

    and again 

    Somebody 
    saves 
    me 
    - I 
    thank 

    you, my 
    friend 

    Some
    body 
    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 

    Verse 10
    I 
    took 
    up the 
    connection 
    once 

    Made me 
    feel 
    quite 
    aloof 

    I 
    nev
    er 
    could queue 
    to collect 
    my 
    lunch 

    While 
    I was 
    pursuing 
    the 
    truth 

    So 
    I left 
    my 
    folks 
    in the 
    mud 
    and rain 

    It al
    ways 
    rains 
    in Sunnyside 
    Road 

    I 
    lived 
    hippy 
    jokes, 
    getting 
    stoned 
    insane 

    Till 
    the 
    rain 
    looked just 
    like 
    snow 

    Verse 11
    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 
    fi
    nally 
    woke 
    up 
    clean 

    My 
    friend 
    was dead, 

    stone 
    dead 

    Verse 12
    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 




    Somebody 
    saved 
    me

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
