D5                                      F
Wide awake in the middle of the night

         G         D5
I wonder how she's feelin'

F                                 C
Is it just a trick of the light

G                 D5
Or is her ceiling peeling?

F                        F                
She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head

              G       D5
At a copy of "True Confessions"

        F                            C
Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale

     G               D5
To a woman of her profession

[chorus]

            F->G                F->G
But was I all right? (was I all right?)

      C                         F
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

       F->G               F->G
Was I all right? (was I all right?)

      C                 F
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

F                           C                     Dm
What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?

Bb              F                 C
They don't make girls like you no more

        Dm             Bb
And I'd like to get to know you

   G                 Bb
On closer terms than this

      G                           C
But I guess you've heard it all before

[opening riff]

D                  F
Lady of the night

          G               D
Won't you steal away with me?

F                   C
Lady of the night

          G               D
Won't you steal away with me?

    F             F                          
The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me

G                    D
Shakes her head and sighs

F                   
Out of time, out the door

C              G        D
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?
