    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.
