    C          Cmaj9         F   
I remember you well from the 
      C
Chelsea Hotel,
         C                      
you were talking so brave and so 
 F
sweet,
C         Cmaj9       F      C
giving me head on the unmade bed,
          C                     
while the limousines wait in the 
 G
street.


Am                         F
Those were the reasons and that was 
New York,
        C               Cmaj9     
we were running for the money and 
    Am
the flesh.
    F                           
And that was called love for the 
 C
workers in song
         F                         
probably still is for those of them
 G
 left.


       F             C
Ah but you got away, didn't you 
babe,
Continues after the ad
    C                Cmaj9       
you just turned your back on the 
Am
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   
I remember you well from the 
      C
Chelsea Hotel
         C                        
you were famous, your heart was a 
F
legend.
    C        Cmaj9       F   
You told me again you preferred 
            C
handsome men
        C                   
but for me you would make an 
   G
exception.


    Am                          F
And clenching your fist for the ones
 like us
          C              Cmaj9    
who are oppressed by the figures 
  Am
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       
you just turned your back on the 
Am
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 
I don't mean to confess that I 
            C
loved you the best,
        C                         
I can't keep track of each fallen 
F
robin.
    C          Cmaj9         F   
I remember you well from the 
      C
Chelsea Hotel,
       C                         
that's all, I don't even think of 
          G
you that often.
