[D5]Wide awake in the middle of the night[F]

I wonder [G]how she's [D5]feelin'

[F]Is it just a trick of the light[C]

[G]Or is her ceiling [D5]peeling?

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

At a copy of "[G]True Con[D5]fessions"

Ooh, it [F]must seem like a fairy tale[C]

To a [G]woman of her pro[D5]fession

(chorus)

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

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

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

Did a [C]shadow of emotion [F]cross your face

Or was it just another trick of the [D5]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]What's a nice girl like you [C]doin' in a place like [Dm]this?

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

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

On [G]closer terms than [Bb]this

But I [G]guess you've heard it all be[C]fore

(opening riff)

[D]Lady of the night[F]

Won't you [G]steal away with [D]me?

[F]Lady of the night[C]

Won't you [G]steal away with [D]me?

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

[G]Shakes her head and s[D]ighs

[F]Out of time, out the door

[C]Red light shini[G]n' in my [D]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?
