Version 1 Version 2[Verse 1] C G F C I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel G Am You were talking so brave and so sweet C G F C Giving me head on the unmade bed F G While the limousines wait in the street Am F Those were the reasons and that was New York C Em/B Am We were running for the money and the flesh F C And that was called love for the workers in song F G Probably still is for those of them left [Chorus] F C Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe? Em/B Am You just turned your back on the crowd F C You got away, I never once heard you say F C "I need you, I don't need you F C I need you, I don't need you" F Am G And all of that jiving around [Verse 2] C G F C I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel G Am You were famous, your heart was a legend C G F C You told me again you preferred handsome men F G But for me you would make an exception Am F And clenching your fist for the ones like us C Em/B Am Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty F C You fixed yourself, you said: "Well, never mind F G We are ugly, but we have the music" [Chorus] F C And then you got away, didn't you baby? Em/B Am You just turned your back on the crowd F C You got away, I never once heard you say F C "I need you, I don't need you F C I need you, I don't need you" F Am 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
