G          D           C             G 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel 
                    G            Em 
You were talking so brave and so sweet 
G         D           C           G 
Giving me head on the unmade bed 
          C                      D 
While the limousines wait in the street 
Em                         C 
Those were the reasons and that was New York 
        G               D             C 
We were running for the money and the flesh 
    Em                            G 
And that was called love for the workers in song 
         C                          D 
Probably still is for those of them left 



[Refrão]
 
        Em            C 
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe? 
    G                D           C 
You just turned your back on the crowd 
Em                    G 
You got away, I never once heard you say 
   C                 G 
"I need you, I don't need you 
  C                 G 
I need you, I don't need you" 
    C                   Em    G 
And all of that jiving around 


verse 2 
    G          D           C             G 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel 
                    G            Em 
You were famous, your heart was a legend 
    G           D         C          G 
You told me again you preferred handsome men 
         C                      D 
But for me you would make an exception 
    Em                         C 
And clenching your fist for the ones like us 
        G                D          C 
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty 
    Em                         G 
You fixed yourself, you said: "Well, never mind 
       C                     D 
We are ugly, but we have the music" 


[Refrão]
 
        Em            C 
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe? 
    G                D           C 
You just turned your back on the crowd 
Em                    G 
You got away, I never once heard you say 
   C                 G 
"I need you, I don't need you 
  C                 G 
I need you, I don't need you" 
    C                   Em    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
