I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
-5   6   -6   7  -8   -6  -6  6   -5 
you were talking so brave and so sweet, 
-6 -6 -6   -6  6   6  6  -5  -5
giving me head on the unmade bed,
 -6   -6 -6   6  -5   -6  6   -5 -5  6
while the limousines wait in the street.
 -8    -8  -8  -8  -8  -8   -8  -8  -8   -8 
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
-8  -8   7  7    7  -6  -6 -6  -6  6   -5
we were running for the money and the flesh.
-5   6   6     6     6   -5   6  -6   7  -8  7 
And that was called love for the workers in song
6   6      6   -6  -6   -5  -6   6  -5 6
probably still is for those of them left.
7   7  -8  -8 -8 -8  -8  7   7   7 
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
-6  -6     -6    -6   -6  -6  6    -5
you just turned your back on the crowd,
-8  -8 -8 -9 -9 -9 -8  -8   -8    7   -6 
you got away, I never once heard you say,
-6 -6  -5  -8  -8    7   -6
I need you, I don't need you,
7  -8  -7  -8  -8    7   -6
I need you, I don't need you
-6  -6  6   -5  6  -5   5  -5
and all of that jiving around. 
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6  -6  6   6   6  6    -5
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
-5   6   -6  7    -8   -6   -6 -6 6  -5
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
-6   -6  -6 -6 6  6    6   6    -5   -5  -5 
You told me again you preferred handsome men
-6   -6 -6  6   -5   -6   6  -5  6  6 
but for me you would make an exception.
-8  -8  -8     -8   -8   -8 -8   -8   -8  -8 
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
-8   -8  7   7    7  -6  -6  -6  -6 6  -5 
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
-5    6    6  6      6   -5     6   -6 7  -8 
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
7   6  6 6  -6  -6  -5  -6  6  -5 
we are ugly but we have the music." 

And then you got away, didn't you babe... 
-6 -6    -6  -6  -6 -6   6   6   6   -5   -5  -5
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
-5  6    -6    7   -6  -6   -6 6    6  
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
-5 6 -6 -6 -6  -6   6   6   6  -5  -5 -5 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
 -6    -6   -5 -5         -6   -  -5   -5  -6 6 
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
