    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
[Refrão]
        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
[Estrofe]
    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"
[Refrão]
         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
