I reGmember you Dwell in the CChelsea HotelG  
You were talking so Gbrave and so Emsweet
GGiving me Dhead on the Cunmade bedG

EmThose were the reasons and Cthat was New York
We were Grunning for the Dmoney and the Cflesh
And Emthat was called love for the wGorkers in song
Probably Cstill is for those of them Dleft

We are ugly, but we have the music"
