C#m

F#m

G#m

EI was twenty one nave, not cynical, I try to pleBase

Her wEit, her speech, her repartee impressed me almost instanBtly

She went Aall the way, all the way Bdown, she went Aall the way, all the way

She shEowed me love a hundred ways, how she pimped and how she pBlayed

EAll the daughters, all the sons, all were welcome, all would coBme

We went aAll the way, all the way dBown, we went allA the way, all the wBay

EI was King, Mr. Cool, just a snobby little foBol, like kids are now.

I dreamEed of reaching greater heights, I raved about it every nightB, talk is cheap

She wAent all the way,B all the way, all Athe way down, Byeah, she went all the way

AlAl the way all the wBay, all the wAay, all the way dBown

She's tC#mhere when I cBlose my F#meyes, Athere when G#mI cloF#mse my eAyes

EHow the years they rush on by, birthdays, kids and suiBcides

EStill I play the fool and sBlut, sAtill you're a Bslut

HeAy girl, she wBent aAll the wBay, alAl the wBay, aAll the wBay, aAll the way dBown

AShe went all tBhe way, aAll the Bway, aAll the Bway, aAll the way dBown

AShe went all tBhe way, alAl the wBay, alAl the wBay, alAl the way doBwn

You givEe me back that time right now, I can see it if I close my eByes

Was Eevery minute just a waste, was every hour a foolish Bchase, I don't believe it

AShe went all tBhe way, Aall the way doBwn, she went alAl the wBay. alAl the way dBown.

AShe went all tBhe way, Aall the way doBwn, she went alAl the wBay, alAl the way aBll the way
