[Verse]

    G   Gadd9 G               C
I saw her today at the reception,

   G    Gadd9 G        C
a glass of wine in her hand

   G   Gadd9 G                C
I knew she was gonna meet her connection,

      G   Gadd9 G            C
at her feet was a footloose man

[Chorus]

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

            A                  C                           G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Instrumental] | G Gadd9 G | C | x2 [Verse]

    G   Gadd9 G         C
I went down to the demonstration,

   G   Gadd9 G          C
to get my fair share of abuse

   G   Gadd9 G                 C
Singing, "we're gonna vent our frustration,

      G   Gadd9 G                C
if we don't we're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse"

[Chorus]

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

            A                  C                           G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Instrumental] | G Gadd9 G | C | x2 [Verse]

     G    Gadd9 G          C
I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store,

   G    Gadd9 G          C
to get your prescription filled

    G    Gadd9 G            C
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

    G    Gadd9 G           C
and man did he look pretty ill

   G    Gadd9 G            C
We decided we would have a soda,

   G    Gadd9 G           C
my favorite flavour: cherry red

  G    Gadd9 G        C
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,

       G    Gadd9 G                   C
and he said one word to me and that was "dead"

[Chorus]

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

            A                  C                           G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Verse]

   G    Gadd9 G             C
I saw her today at the reception,

       G    Gadd9 G        C
in her glass was a bleeding man

    G    Gadd9 G                C
She was practiced at the art of deception,

        G    Gadd9 G             C
I could tell by her bloodstained hands

[Chorus]

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

     G   Gadd9 G              C
You can't always get what you want

            A                  C                           G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need
