C G F C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
–
G Am
You were talking so brave and so sweet
–
C G F C
Giving me head on the unmade bed
–
F G
While the limousines wait in the street
–
Am F
Those were the reasons and that was New York
–
C Em/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
–
[Estribillo]
F C
Ah, but you got away, didn’t you babe?
–
Em/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”
–
F Am G
And all of that jiving around
–
[Estrofa]
C G F C
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
–
G Am
You were famous, your heart was a legend
–
C G F C
You told me again you preferred handsome men
–
F G
But for me you would make an exception
–
Am F
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
–
C Em/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”
–
[Estribillo]
F C
And then you got away, didn’t you baby?
–
Em/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”
–
F Am 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
