C G F C

Giving me head on the unmade bed

F G

While the limousines wait in the street

Am F

Those were the reasons and that was New York

C E/B Am

We were running for the money and the flesh

F C

And that was called love for the workers in song

F G

Probably still is for those of them left

[Chorus]

F C

Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe?

E/B Am

You just turned your back on the crowd

F C

You got away, I never once heard you say

F C

"I need you, I don't need you

F C

I need you, I don't need you"

F Am G

And all of that jiving around

[Verse 2]

C G F C

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel

G Am

You were famous, your heart was a legend

C G F C

You told me again you preferred handsome men

F G

But for me you would make an exception

Am F

And clenching your fist for the ones like us

C E/B Am

Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty

F C

You fixed yourself, you said: "Well, never mind

F G

We are ugly, but we have the music"

[Chorus]

F C

And then you got away, didn't you baby?

E/B Am

You just turned your back on the crowd

F C

You got away, I never once heard you say

F C

"I need you, I don't need you

F C

I need you, I don't need you"

F Am G

And all of that jiving around

[Outro]

C G F C

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best

G Am

I can't keep track of each fallen robin

C G F C

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel

F G

That's all, I don't even think of you that often
