INTRO
F  Am  F  C   (2x)


VERSE 1
    F
The kids round here look just like sticks
     F
They trade old licks with a beat up six
Bb
I just smile and catch the groove
Gm
Gothic girls all dressed in black
Gm
Serious as heart attacks
   C
It takes a little bit of getting used to

    F
The old man with the whisky 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 onto her own hand


CHORUS 1
                    F
It's midnight in Chelsea
                   (shalalala, shalala)
              Bb
Midnight in Chelsea
             (shalalala, shalala)
         Gm
No one's asking me for favors, no one's looking for a savior
         (shalalala,                    shalala)
            C                       F  Am  F  C
They're too busy ...         saving me
            (shalalala, shalala)


VERSE 2
     F
I've seen a lone sloane ranger drive
F
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
Bb
   And sold her secrets to the Sun
    Gm
And later in a magazine
  Gm
I finally figured what it means
C
   To be a saint, not a queen

    F
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
F
Chase their shadows in the dark
Bb
   Someone's getting off tonight
  Dm
A big red bus that's packed so tight
Bb
disappears in a trail of light
C                                 Bb
Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's alright


CHORUS 2
                    F
It's midnight in Chelsea
                   (shalalala, shalala)
              Bb
Midnight in Chelsea
             (shalalala, shalala)
         Gm
No one's asking me for favors, no one's looking for a savior
         (shalalala,                    shalala)
            C
They're too busy saving me
            (shalalala,  shalala)

 F
(shalalala, shalala)
              Bb
Midnight in Chelsea
             (shalalala, shalala)
         Dm                                  F
No one's pinned their dreams on me, No one's asking me to bleed
         (shalalala,                         shalala)
        Gm          C
I'm the man I wanna be, when Chelsea girls sing            


INTERLUDE
Bb         F
Shalalala, shalalala
Gm         F        C
Shalalala, shalala, oh
Bb         F
Shalalala, shalalala
Gm         F        C
Shalalala, shalala, oh


BRIDGE
     Dm
It's morning when I go to sleep
       Dm
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Bb
   Another day is coming on
  Gm
A baby's born, an old man dies
    Gm
Somewhere young lovers kiss good bye
C
   I leave my soul and just move on
              Bb
And wish that I was there to sing this song


G  O
F  Am  F  Am

             (shalalala, shalala)
         Gm
No one's asking me for favors, no one's looking for a savior
         (shalalala,                    shalala)
            C
They're too busy saving me
