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