I saw her today at the reception
  C                    F
A glass of wine in her hand
  C                          F
I knew she would meet her connection
       C                      F
At her feet was her footloose man
        C                         F
No, you can't always get what you want
    C                         F
You can't always get what you want
    C                         F
You can't always get what you want
           D                    F
But if you try sometime, you'll find
                 C           F   C   F  C  F  C  F
You get what you need

I knew she was gonna meet her connection
       C                    F

You get what you need  ahhhhhhah yeah
      C                      F
And I went down to the demonstration
   C                      F
To get my fair share of abuse
          C                        F
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
      C                       F
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
F
Sing it to me now...
    C                         F
You can't always get what you want

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
   C                      F
To get your prescription filled
      C                        F
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
    C                      F
And man, did he look pretty ill
     C                        F
We decided that we would have a soda
   C                      F
My favorite flavor, cherry red
  C                      F
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
              C                      F
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
F
I said to him
    C                         F
You can't always get what you want
    C                         F

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