F
The kids 'round here look just like sticks,
F
They trade old licks with a beat up six,
Bb
I smile and catch the groove,
Gm
Gothic girls all dress in black, Serious as heart attacks,
C
It takes a little bit of getting used to,
F
The old man with the whiskey stains,
F
Lost the night forgot his name,
Bb
His poor wife will sleep alone again,
Dm Bb
And it ain't hard to understand,
C Bb
Why she's holding on to her own hand,
F
It's midnight in Chelsea sha la la la
Bb
Midnight in Chelsea sha la la la
Gm
No one's asking me for favours, No one's looking for a saviour,
C
They're too busy saving me
I've seen a lone, sloane ranger drive
seems her chauffeur took a dive
And sold her secrets to the sun
And later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
And chase their shadows in the dark
Someone's getting off tonight
Of a big red bus that's packed so tight
It disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's all right...
It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
No one's asking me for favors
No one's looking for a savoir
They're too busy saving me
Midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
No one's pinned the dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I want to be
When Chelsea girls sing...
It's morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming on
A baby's born, an old man dies
Somewhere young lovers kiss good-bye
I leave my soul and just move on
And wish that I was there to sing this song
It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
No one's asking me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving me
It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
No one's pinned the dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I want to be
The man I want to be,the man I want to be
Midnight in Chelsea
