G D C G
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
G Em
You were talking so brave and so sweet
G D C G
Giving me head on the unmade bed
C D
While the limousines wait in the street
Em C
Those were the reasons and that was New York
G D C
We were running for the money and the flesh
Em G
And that was called love for the workers in song
C D
Probably still is for those of them left
Em C
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe?
G D C
You just turned your back on the crowd
Em G
You got away, I never once heard you say
C G
"I need you, I don't need you
C G
I need you, I don't need you"
C Em G
And all of that jiving around
verse 2
G D C G
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
G Em
You were famous, your heart was a legend
G D C G
You told me again you preferred handsome men
C D
But for me you would make an exception
Em C
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
G D C
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
Em G
You fixed yourself, you said: "Well, never mind
C D
We are ugly, but we have the music"
Em C
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe?
G D C
You just turned your back on the crowd
Em G
You got away, I never once heard you say
C G
"I need you, I don't need you
C G
I need you, I don't need you"
C Em G
And all of that jiving around
Outro
C G F C
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
G Am
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
C G F C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
F G
That's all, I don't even think of you that often
