E
I was twenty one naive
                             B
Not cynical, I try to please
 E
Her wit, her speech, her repartee
                              B
Impressed me almost instantly

Chorus:
            A
   She went all the way
                B
   All the way down
            A
   She went all the way, all the way

E
She showed me sex a hundred ways
                                 B
And how she pimped and how she paid
    E
And all the daughters, all the sons
                                B
All were welcome, all would come

Chorus:
   We went all the way
   All the way down
   We went all the way, all the way

I was King, Mr. Cool
Just a snobby little fool
(Like kids are now)
I dreamed of reaching greater heights
I raved about it every night
Talk is cheap

Chorus:
            A
   She went all the way, all the way
                B
   All the way down, yeah
            A
   She went all the way
   All the way, all the way
                             B
   All the way, all the way down

           E            B       A
   She's there when I close my eyes
    A             B       E   A B
   There when I close my eyes
           E            B       A
   She's there when I close my eyes
     A            B       E  A B
   There when I close my eyes

How the years they rush on by
Birthdays, kids and suicides
Still I play the fool and strut
Still you're a slut

Chorus:
                      A
   Hey girl, she went all the way
   All the way, all the way
                B
   All the way down
            A
   She went all the way
   All the way, all the way
                B
   All the way down
            A
   She went all the way
   All the way, all the way
                E
   All the way down

You give me back that time right now
I can see it if I close my eyes
Was every minute just a waste?
Was every hour a foolish chase?
I don't believe it

Chorus:
   She went all the way
   All the way down
   She went all the way
   All the way down
   She went all the way
   All the way down
   She went all the way
   All the way, all the way
   All the way down
