Bb                      Gm
How long's it gonna be, babe
Cm              Cm/D         Eb
Before I get over you, doll
Bb                                           Gm
I bet it?s gonna be a while now, kid
Cm                   Cm/D                 Eb
What with you living right up the hall

F                                                 Gm
And I'm tired of living here in this hotel
Cm                  Cm/D                    Eb
Snow and Rain falling through the sheets
F                                  Gm
In fact I'm tired of 23rd Street
Cm                           Cm/D
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Eb                     F
Out there in the Chelsea night

Maybe you just didn't read me right
The lights went out and you just didn?t understand
I played your song, I got the melody all wrong
Why don't you just shoot up like some rubber bands

And I'm tired of living in this hotel
Fire and rain blowin through the streets
And I'm tired of 23rd Street
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night

Solo

I fell like getting rid of all my things
Maybe just disappear into the fall
The traffic roars and my stomach screams
Like a gang of angry dogs

And I'm tired of living here in this hotel
TV and dirty magazines
And I'm just trying to get a little sleep
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
