Chelsea Hotel No 2

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


[Chorus]
         Dm             Bb
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, 
baby?
         F            A/E      
You just turned your back on the 
    Dm
crowd.
Bb                     F
You got away, I never once heard you
 say,
Continues after the ad
   Bb                F           
"I need you, I don't need you, I 
Bb                F
need you, I don't need you,"
     Bb                 Dm        C
And all of that Driving around.


[Verse 2]
      F        C           F
I remember you well in the Chelsea 
Hotel,
                       C          
You were famous, your heart was a 
Bb
legend.
      F         C             
You told me again you preferred 
     Bb
handsome men,
       F             Bb    
But for me you would make an 
        C
exception.
    Dm                           
And clenching your fist for the ones
Bb
 like us
         F                A/E     
Who are oppressed by the figures 
    Dm
of beauty,
     Bb                         F
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well,
 never mind,
     Bb                      C
We are ugly but we have the music."


[Chorus]
         Dm             Bb
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, 
baby?
         F            A/E      
You just turned your back on the 
    Dm
crowd.
Bb                     F
You got away, I never once heard you
 say,
   Bb                F           
"I need you, I don't need you, I 
Bb                F
need you, I don't need you,"
     Bb                 Dm        C
And all of that Driving around.


[Verse 3]
        F         C            Bb
I don't mean to suggest that I 
            F
loved you the best
         F            C           
I can't keep track of each fallen 
Dm
robin.
  F            C           Bb    
I remember you well in the 
    F
Chelsea Hotel,
       F                        
That’s all, I don't think of you 
       (C)
that often.
