D5D5 Piano Chord 
                                      FF Piano Chord 

Wide awake in the middle of the night

GG Piano Chord 
         D5D5 Piano Chord 

I wonder how she's feelin'

FF Piano Chord 
                                 CC Piano Chord 

Is it just a trick of the light

GG Piano Chord 
                 D5D5 Piano Chord 

Or is her ceiling peeling?

FF Piano Chord 
                        FF Piano Chord 

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

GG Piano Chord 
       D5D5 Piano Chord 

At a copy of "True Confessions"

FF Piano Chord 
                            CC Piano Chord 

Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale

GG Piano Chord 
               D5D5 Piano Chord 

To a woman of her profession

[chorus]

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

CC Piano Chord 
                         FF Piano Chord 

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

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

CC Piano Chord 
                 FF Piano Chord 

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

D5D5 Piano Chord 

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

                     DmDm Piano Chord 

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

BbBb Piano Chord 
              FF Piano Chord 
                 CC Piano Chord 

They don't make girls like you no more

DmDm Piano Chord 
             BbBb Piano Chord 

And I'd like to get to know you

GG Piano Chord 
                 BbBb Piano Chord 

On closer terms than this

GG Piano Chord 
                           CC Piano Chord 

But I guess you've heard it all before

[opening riff]

DD Piano Chord 
                  FF Piano Chord 

Lady of the night

GG Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 

Won't you steal away with me?

FF Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 

Lady of the night

GG Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 

Won't you steal away with me?

FF Piano Chord 
             FF Piano Chord 

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

GG Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 

Shakes her head and sighs

FF Piano Chord 

Out of time, out the door

CC Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 

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?
