CGFC I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel CGF you were talking so brave and so sweet CGFC giving me head on the unmade bed CG while the limousines wait in the street FAm Those were the reasons and that was New York AmGF we were running for the money and the flesh FC And that was called love for the workers in song CG probably still is for those of them left
FC Ah but you got away didn't you babe CG/BAm you just turned your back on the crowd FC you got away I never once heard you say FC I need you I don't need you FC I need you I don't need you CG and all of that jiving around
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel you were famous your heart was a legend You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty you fixed yourself up you said Well never mind we are ugly but we have the music
And then you got away didn't you babe
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best I can't keep track of each fallen robin I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel that's all I don't even think of you that often
