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?
