Chelsea Hotel No. 2 - Written By Leonard Cohen, as performed by Rufus
Wainwright,
from the tribute: I'm Your Man
[Verse 1]
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 the unmade bed
Bb C
While the limousines wait in the street
Dm Bb
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
F A/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 left.
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
F A/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 Driving around.
[Verse 2]
F C F
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
C Bb
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 A/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."
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
F A/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,"
