Lirik Lagu Chelsea Hotel #2 – Leonard Cohen

E B A E

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,

C##          F         C            D#m

You were talking so brave and so sweet; E B A E

Giving me head on an unmade bed, A B

While the limousines wait in the street.

C#m A

Those were the reasons and that was New York, E G#m C#m

We were running for the money and the flesh. A E

And that was called love for the workers in song, A B

Probably still is for those of them left. A E

Ah, but you got away, didn’t you babe, E G#m C#m

You just turned your back on the crowd,

A E

You got away,I never once heard you say: A E

“I need you,I don’t need you, A E

I need you, I don’t need you” A C#m B

And all of that jiving around. E B A E

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel: E B C#m

You were famous, your heart was a legend. E B A E

You told me again you preferred handsome men A B

But for me you would make an exception. C#m A

And clenching your fist for the ones like us E G#m C#m

Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, A E

You fixed yourself, you said, “Well never mind, A B

We are ugly but we have the music.” A E

Ah, but you got away, didn’t you babe, E G#m C#m

You just turned your back on the crowd,

A E

You got away,I never once heard you say: A E

“I need you,I don’t need you, A E

I need you, I don’t need you” A C#m B

And all of that jiving around. E B A E

I don’t mean to suggest that I loved you the best, E B C#m

I can’t keep track of each fallen robin. E B A E

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, A B

That’s all, I don’t think of you that often.
