You Can't Always Get What You Want

CAPO 5th Fret

G                      C
I saw her today at the reception
  G                    C
A glass of wine in her hand
  G                           C
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
       G                    C
At her feet was a footloose man

    G                         C
You can't always get what you want
    G                         C
You can't always get what you want
    G                         C
You can't always get what you want
           A                 C                     G
But if you try sometimes you find you get what you need

           G                C
And I went down to the demonstration
   G                    C
To get my fair share of abuse
          G                        C
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration, 
      G                               C
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

    G                         C
You can't always get what you want
    G                         C
You can't always get what you want
    G                         C
You can't always get what you want
           A                      C                           G
But if you try sometimes well you might find you get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
   G                     C
To get your prescription filled
      G                         C
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
    G                       C
And man, did he look pretty ill

   G                            C
We decided that we would have a soda
            G              C
My favorite flavor, cherry red
          G           C
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy, yeah
            G                             C
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead"

(spoken) I said to him

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

I saw her today at the reception
       G                    C
In her glass was a bleeding man
        G                         C
She was practiced at the art of deception 
             G                         C
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

    G                         C
