Lana Del Rey - Chelsea Hotel No 2

C F C
i remember you well in the chelsea hotel ,
G Am
you were talking so brave and so sweet;
C G F C
giving me head on the unmade bed ,
F G
while the limousines waiting 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 .

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 .

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 . ”

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 .

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 , ai don’t even think of you that often .
