Chelsea Hotel No. 2 - Written By Leonard Cohen, as performed by Rufus Wainwright,
from the tribute: I'm Your Man
[Verse 1]
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 the unmade bed Bb C While the limousines wait in the street Dm Bb Those were the reasons and that was New York, F A/E 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.
[Chorus]
Dm Bb Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby? F A/E Dm You just turned your back on the crowd. Bb F You got away, I never once heard you say, Bb F Bb F "I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you," Bb Dm C And all of that Driving around.
[Verse 2]
F C F I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, C Bb You were famous, your heart was a legend. F C Bb You told me again you preferred handsome men, F Bb C But for me you would make an exception. Dm Bb And clenching your fist for the ones like us F A/E 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."
[Chorus]
Dm Bb Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby? F A/E Dm You just turned your back on the crowd. Bb F You got away, I never once heard you say, Bb F Bb F "I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you," Bb Dm C And all of that Driving around.
[Verse 3]
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, F (C) That's all, I don't think of you that often.
