FCBbF
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
FCDm
You were talking so brave and so sweet.
FCBbF
Giving me head on the unmade bed
BbC
While the limousines wait in the street
DmBb
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
FA/EDm
We were running for the money and the flesh
BbF
And that was called love for the workers in song,
BbC
Probably still is for those of them left.
[Chorus]
DmBb
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
FA/EDm
You just turned your back on the crowd.
BbF
You got away, I never once heard you say,
BbFBbF
"I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you,"
BbDmC
And all of that Driving around.
[Verse 2]
FCF
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
CBb
You were famous, your heart was a legend.
FCBb
You told me again you preferred handsome men,
FBbC
But for me you would make an exception.
DmBb
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
FA/EDm
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
BbF
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well, never mind,
BbC
We are ugly but we have the music."
[Chorus]
DmBb
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
FA/EDm
You just turned your back on the crowd.
BbF
You got away, I never once heard you say,
BbFBbF
"I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you,"
BbDmC
And all of that Driving around.
[Verse 3]
FCBbF
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
FCDm
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
FCBbF
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
F (C)
That’s all, I don't think of you that often.
