I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
Em7 A
You were talking so brave and so sweet
C G F C
Giving me head on the unmade bed
F G7
While the limousines wait in the street
Am F
Those were the reasons and that was New York
C Em7 Am
We were running for the money and the flesh
F C
And that was called love for the workers in song
F G7
Probably still is for those of them left
F C
Ah but you got away didn't you babe
C Em7 Am
You just turned your back on the crowd
F C
You got away I never once heard you say
F C
I need you I don't need you
F C
I need you I don't need you
F Am G7
And all of that jiving around
C G F C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
Em7 Am
You were famous your heart was a legend
C G F C
You told me again you preferred handsome men
F G7
But for me you would make an exception
Am F
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
C Em7 Am
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
F C
You fixed yourself you said Well never mind
F G7
We are ugly but we have the music
F C
Ah but you got away didn't you babe
C Em7 Am
You just turned your back on the crowd
F C
You got away I never once heard you say
F C
I need you I don't need you
F C
I need you I don't need you
F Am G7
And all of that jiving around
C G F C
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
Em7 Am
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
C G F C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
F G7
That's all I don't even think of you that often
