I reCmember you Cmaj9well from the FChelsea HoCtel,

AmThose were the reasons and Fthat was New York,

And Fthat was called love for the Cworkers in song
probably Fstill is for those of them Gleft.
Ah but Fyou got away, Cdidn't you babe,

Fyou got away, I never Conce heard you say,
I Fneed you, I Amdon't need you,

You Ctold me aCmaj9gain you preFferred handsome Cmen

And Amclenching your fist for the Fones like us
who are opCpressed by the Cmaj9figures of Ambeauty,
Fyou fixed yourself, you said, "CWell never mind,

Ah but Fyou got away, Cdidn't you babe,

C Cmaj9 F C

I remember you well from the Chelsea Hotel,

C F

you were talking so brave and so sweet,

C Cmaj9 F C

giving me head on the unmade bed,

C G

while the limousines wait in the street.

Am F

Those were the reasons and that was New York,

C Cmaj9 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.

F C

Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,

C Cmaj9 Am

you just turned your back on the crowd,

F C

you got away, I never once heard you say,

F Am

I need you, I don't need you,

F C Cmaj9

I need you, I don't need you

F G Am

and all of that jiving around.

C Cmaj9 F C

I remember you well from the Chelsea Hotel

C F

you were famous, your heart was a legend.

C Cmaj9 F C

You told me again you preferred handsome men

C G

but for me you would make an exception.

Am F

And clenching your fist for the ones like us

C Cmaj9 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."

F C

Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,

C Cmaj9 Am

you just turned your back on the crowd,

F C

you got away, I never once heard you say,

F Am

I need you, I don't need you,

F C Cmaj9

I need you, I don't need you

F G Am

and all of that jiving around.

C Cmaj9 F C

I don't mean to confess that I loved you the best,

C F

I can't keep track of each fallen robin.

C Cmaj9 F C

I remember you well from the Chelsea Hotel,

C G

that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
