Written by Leonard Cohen
F C Bb F I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel C Dm You were talking so brave and so sweet F C Bb Giving me head on the unmade bed F Bb C While the limousines wait in the street Dm Bb Those were the reasons and that was New York F Am/E 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 leftVerse 1:
Bb F And then you got away, didn't you, baby? Am/E Dm You just turned your back on the crowd Bb F You got away, I never once heard you say Bb F Bb F "I need you, I don't need you, 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 C Dm You were famous, your heart was a legend F C Bb You told me again you preferred handsome men F Bb C But for me you would make an exception Dm Bb And clenching your fist for the ones like us F Am/E 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 And then you got away, didn't you, baby? Am/E Dm You just turned your back on the crowd Bb F You got away, I never once heard you say Bb F Bb F "I need you, I don't need you, 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
