[Verse]
Ab                  Db                  
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
Ab                        Eb     Fm   
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Ab                Db               
■  Giving me head on the unmade bed
Ab        Db              Eb           
While the limousines wait in the street
Fm                         Db                   
And those were the reasons and that was New York
Ab                            Fm           
We were running for the money and the flesh
Db                       Ab                     
And that was called love for the workers in song
Db                    Eb                     
Probably still is for those who've never left
Db                  Ab             
Ah but you got away didn't you baby
                         Eb  Fm    
You just threw it all to the ground


[Chorus]
Db             Ab                      
You got away I never once heard you say
Db           Ab             Db           Ab            
I need you I don't need you I need you I don't need you
Db                     Fm     Eb
And all of that jiving around ■ 


[Verse]
Ab                  Db                  
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
Ab                         Fm          
You were famous your heart was a legend
Ab                    Db                    
You told me again you preferred handsome men
Ab         Db         Eb          
But for me you'd make an exception
    Fm                       Db                  
And then clenching your fist for the ones like us
    Ab                   Fm               
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
Db                 Ab                      
You fixed yourself you said Well never mind
Db                      Eb       
We are ugly but we have the music
    Db                Ab             
And then you got away didn't you baby
                                Eb  Fm   
Ah you just turned your back on the crowd


[Chorus]
Db                Ab                      
■  You got away I never once heard you say
Db           Ab             Db           Ab            
I need you I don't need you I need you I don't need you
Db              Eb     Fm     Eb
And all of that jiving around ■ 
Ab                      Db                       
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
  Ab                       Fm          
I don't keep track of each fallen robin
Ab                  Eb     Db           
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
Ab            Db            
That's all my little darling
                      Eb            
I don't even think of you that often
