D5                                      F5
Wide awake in the middle of the night
         G5         D5
I wonder how she's feelin'
F5                                 C5
Is it just a trick of the light
G5                 D5
Or is her ceiling peeling?
F5                        F5                
She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head
              G5       D5
At a copy of "True Confessions"
        F5                            C5
Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale
     G5               D5
To a woman of her profession

[chorus]
            F->G5                F->G5
But was I all right? (was I all right?)
      C5                         F5
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
       F->G5               F->G5
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
      C5                 F5
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
                                    D5
Or was it just another trick of the light?

[Bass solo: over verse chords]

[chorus]

But was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

Was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

Or was it just another trick of the light?

Come on, tell me
F5                           C5                     D5
What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?
Bb5              F5                 C5
They don't make girls like you no more
        D5             Bb5
And I'd like to get to know you
   G5                 Bb5
On closer terms than this
      G5                           C5
But I guess you've heard it all before

[opening riff]
D5                  F5
Lady of the night
          G5               D5
Won't you steal away with me?
F5                   C5
Lady of the night
          G5               D5
Won't you steal away with me?
    F5             F5                          
The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me
G5                    D5
Shakes her head and sighs
F5                   
Out of time, out the door
C5              G5        D5
Red light shinin' in my eyes
But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
All right?
But was I all right?
All right?
