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?
