Chelsea Hotel 2

Written by Leonard Cohen

	  		  
  F            C          Bb        F 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, 
           F         C            Dm 
You were talking so brave and so sweet; 
 F         C          Bb     F  
Giving me head on an unmade bed, 
          Bb                       C 
While the limousines wait in the street. 
Dm                         Bb 
Those were the reasons and that was New York, 
            F            Am            Dm 
We were running for the money and the flesh. 
    Bb                            F 
And that was called love for the workers in song, 
         Bb                         C 
Probably still is for those of them left. 
        Bb             F 
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe, 
      F               Am           Dm 
You just turned your back on the crowd, 
Bb                             F 
You got away,I never once heard you say: 
  Bb                 F 
"I need you,I don't need you, 
  Bb                 F 
I need you, I don't need you" 
     Bb                Dm      C  
And all of that jiving around. 
    F            C          Bb        F 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel: 
           F         C            Dm 
You were famous, your heart was a legend. 
     F       C                   Bb        F  
You told me again you preferred handsome men 
       Bb                       C 
But for me you would make an exception. 
     Dm                         Bb 
And clenching your fist for the ones like us 
             F            Am            Dm 
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, 
     Bb                          F 
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, 
        Bb                    C 
We are ugly but we have the music." 
        Bb             F 
Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe, 
      F               Am           Dm 
You just turned your back on the crowd, 
Bb                             F 
You got away,I never once heard you say: 
  Bb                 F 
"I need you,I don't need you, 
  Bb                 F 
I need you, I don't need you" 
     Bb                   Dm     C  
And all of that jiving around. 
        F          C          Bb        F 
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, 
   F                   C           Dm 
I can't keep track of each fallen robin. 
     F          C          Bb        F 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, 
       Bb                                C 
That's all, I don't think of you that often.
