^CI remember you ^Gwell in the ^FChelsea Hot^Cel, you were talking so ^C/Hbrave and so ^Amolsweet, ^Cgiving me ^Ghead on the ^Funmade ^Cbed, while the ^Flimousines wait in the ^Gstreet. ^AmolThose were the reasons and ^Fthat was New York, we were ^Crunning for the ^C/Hmoney and the ^Amflesh. ^FAnd that was called love for the ^Cworkers in song probably ^Fstill is for those of them ^Gleft.

Ah but ^Fyou got away, ^Cdidn't you babe, you just turned your ^C/Hback on the ^Amolcrowd, ^Fyou got away, I never once heard ^Cyou say, ^FI need you, I don't ^Cneed you, ^FI need you, I don't ^Cneed you and ^Fall of that jiving ^Amaround.^G

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel you were famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception. And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, you fixed yourself, you said, Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music. And then you got away, didn't you babe... I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, I can't keep track of each fallen robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
