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