[Primeira Parte]
F C Bb F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
C Dm
You were talking so brave and so sweet
F C Bb
Giving me head on the unmade bed
F Bb C
While the limousines wait in the street
Dm Bb
Those were the reasons and that was New York
F Am/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
[Refrão]
Bb F
And then you got away, didn't you, baby?
Am/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 jiving around
F C Bb F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
C Dm
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 Am/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."
[Refrão]
Bb F
And then you got away, didn't you, baby?
Am/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 jiving around
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
Bb C
That's all, I don't think of you that often
